Today I was creating keywords for my website and I have one issue.

Is there any difference between writing:

<meta name="keywords" content="HTML,CSS,JavaScript,PHP"/>


And the same code but after every keyword there will be one space like this:

<meta name="keywords" content="HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP"/>


I am asking this because when I am surfing the web I usually find both versions. Does it make an impact on website SEO?

In HTML5, keywords is one of the standard metadata names.

It defines steps that user agents must follow to obtain the page’s list of keywords. One of these steps is:


Split the value of the element's content attribute on commas.


As the linked definition of "split a string on commas" explains, "leading and trailing whitespace" will be stripped:


Strip leading and trailing whitespace from s.


tl;dr: It doesn’t matter if there is a space after or before the delimiter (i.e., the comma ,), conforming user agents will obtain the same list of keywords.
