Keyword density should be lower. You should not use a lot of keyword on your page Google treats this as spam.

Keyword Density is the ratio of the keyword in a content. It would be nice if you use 3%-5% of Keywords to your website content. Keyword density is important because search engines use this information to categorize a site's theme, and to determine which terms the site is relevant to. The perfect keyword density will help achieve higher search engine positions. Keyword density needs to be balanced correctly. So Keyword density shoul be less.
