About This Check
Measures rendered element density and DOM depth. Excessive fragmentation can make main-content isolation less reliable.
What To Do Next
90.1% of audited sites need attention on dom fragmentation (2,738 of 3,040 sites are warning or failing).
- Prioritize dom fragmentation on templates that create many URLs, because one template fix can improve a large share of the relevant audit section.
- After changing the page, re-run the audit and compare the observed value for this check instead of relying on visual inspection alone.
- Use the 9.9% pass rate as a benchmark: passing this check would put your site among the 9.9% of audited pages that meet this requirement.
