Low text-to-HTML ratio

Low priorityContent

Visible text makes up less than 10% of the HTML, a sign of code bloat or very little content.

What triggers this issue

  • Text makes up under 10% of the HTML document.

Why it matters

The ratio itself isn’t a ranking factor, but it points to real problems: huge inline scripts and styles that slow the page, or very little content for search engines to work with.

How to fix it

  1. Move large inline scripts, styles and JSON data into external files.
  2. Add meaningful content if the page is thin.
