from collections import Counter

def keyword_density(text, keyword):
    words = re.findall(r'\b\w+\b', text.lower())
    keyword_count = text.lower().count(keyword.lower())

    return {
        "keyword": keyword,
        "count": keyword_count,
        "total_words": len(words),
        "density": f"{density:.2f}%"
    }

# Target: 1-2% density

Readability Score

python

import textstat

text = "Your content here..."

flesch = textstat.flesch_reading_ease(text)
# 90-100: Very Easy

    title = soup.find('title')
    description = soup.find('meta', attrs={'name': 'description'})
    keywords = soup.find('meta', attrs={'name': 'keywords'})
