See how much of a page is real, readable content versus markup — and how that stacks up in the eyes of search engines
Text-to-HTML ratio is one signal among many — run a complete audit to check speed, mobile-friendliness, meta tags, and more.
Run Free Website AuditThe text-to-HTML ratio measures how much of a page's weight is actual, readable content versus markup, scripts, and styling — the percentage you get from dividing the visible text on the page by the total size of its HTML. A very low ratio (roughly under 10%) usually means a page is heavy on code, ads, or embedded widgets relative to the words a visitor (and a search engine) can actually read, which some SEOs treat as a soft signal of thin or code-bloated content. This tool fetches a page's live HTML (or lets you paste HTML directly), strips out scripts, styles, and comments the way a browser would when computing what's actually visible, then reports the ratio alongside a breakdown of word count, script and style tag counts, images, links, and HTML comments. It's not a pass/fail test on its own — a documentation page and a photo gallery will naturally land in very different places — but tracked over time or compared against similar pages, it's a useful gut-check on whether a template has gotten bloated.
