How many websites pass the Text Len check?
Based on 596 audited sites · Updated 2026-07-16
95% confidence interval: 86.3%–91.4%
Why This Matters
LLM Discoverability
Longer pages with substantive text give AI systems more material to extract claims, summaries, and citations from; very short pages are often classified as thin content and excluded from AI knowledge bases.
SEO Impact
Content length correlates with topical coverage; comprehensively covering a subject increases the chance of ranking for long-tail queries and earning a "comprehensive resource" link profile.
What To Do Next
10.9% of audited sites need attention on text len (65 of 596 sites are warning or failing).
- Prioritize text len on templates that create many URLs, because one template fix can improve a large share of html extractability & main content clarity.
- 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 89.1% pass rate as a benchmark: if your site fails here, passing the check moves it closer to the visible majority of crawlable, AI-readable pages.
