What is the Text-to-HTML ratio in SEO?

The Text-to-HTML ratio represents the percentage of actual readable text content on a web page compared to the total size of its underlying HTML code, scripts, inline CSS, and formatting markup.

What is a good Text-to-HTML ratio percentage?

A healthy SEO ratio is between 15% and 50%. A ratio below 10% indicates excessive code bloat or thin content, which can make it harder for search engines to recognize the topical relevance of your page.

How can I improve my Text-to-HTML ratio?

You can improve your ratio by moving inline CSS/JS to external files, minifying HTML code, eliminating unnecessary plugins and nested divs, and adding high-quality descriptive copy to your page.
