About This Check

Checks whether the page has a healthy text-to-HTML ratio. Low ratios suggest thin content that AI systems may skip.

Why This Matters

LLM Discoverability

Pages with a low text-to-HTML ratio (code-heavy, template-heavy) yield little useful text when crawled by AI systems; the signal-to-noise ratio determines whether a page is included in a model's training corpus.

SEO Impact

Google's quality algorithms down-rank thin pages; a healthy text-to-HTML ratio is a proxy for real content depth and signals to Googlebot that there is substantive content to index.
