Short diagnosis: when a keyword-density tool reports HTML markup instead of plain words it usually means the page's keyword/meta field contains markup or escaped entities, or the checker is parsing the page without stripping tags. is right to point at the head/meta area, and is right to suggest inspecting the source — here are targeted steps to find and fix the root cause.

  • View the raw page source and inspect the head. If the keywords entry contains literal angle brackets, HTML tags, or HTML entities (for example sequences like <), the site is storing or outputting markup instead of plain text.
  • Check the CMS or admin field where keywords are entered. Some WYSIWYG editors or template helpers will add formatting tags when content is pasted; move keywords into a plain-text/meta field or save without formatting.
  • Review the template or plugin that injects meta content. Make sure it outputs text, not HTML. A common problem is a function that echoes formatted content intended for the body rather than a sanitized string for the head.
  • Validate the page (validator.w3.org) to catch unclosed tags or broken markup that can confuse parsers and tools.
  • After fixes, confirm with a text-only fetch or a crawler that strips HTML to ensure the checker now sees plain words.

A practical note: major search engines no longer use the meta-keywords tag for ranking, so cleaning this up is mainly about tooling and correctness rather than SEO benefit (MDN: meta element, Moz: meta keywords). Focus efforts on readable titles, headings, meta descriptions, and visible content. If the problem persists, paste the exact head section from the page source (escaped) and include the CMS name so the issue can be pinpointed.

You need to make sure that you are inserting the keywords in the meta part of the coding else you can use this as <meta name="keywords" content=" "/> this way you are making sure that the keywords will show as imagined not in HTML

Check carefully your keywords. Check source of the page - is there something strange in keywords?
