Text to HTML ratio checker

What is a Text to HTML Ratio Checker?

The Text to HTML Ratio Checker measures how much of a webpage's source code is actual visible text compared to the underlying HTML markup. It strips out scripts and styles, then compares the size of the rendered text against the size of the surrounding HTML to produce a percentage.

Why It Matters

• SEO signal — Search engines have historically used text-to-HTML ratio as a rough proxy for content quality; pages with very low ratios can look thin or code-heavy.
• Page weight — A low ratio often means excessive markup, inline styles, or bloated widgets that slow down rendering.
• Content auditing — Quickly spot pages that are mostly boilerplate/navigation with little unique text.
