The Code to Text Ratio Checker is a free SEO analysis tool that calculates the percentage of visible text content on a webpage relative to the total HTML code. A higher text-to-code ratio indicates that the page has more actual content than HTML markup — which is generally positive for SEO and readability.

While Google has not officially confirmed code-to-text ratio as a direct ranking factor, pages with very low text ratios often have quality issues: too much navigation, excessive ads, bloated markup or thin content — all of which correlate with poor user experience and rankings.

How to Check Code to Text Ratio

• Enter the URL of any webpage
• Click Analyze
• View the total page size, code size, text size and text-to-code ratio percentage

Interpreting Results

• Below 10% — Very low; page may have thin content or heavy markup
• 10–25% — Acceptable for most pages
• 25%+ — Good content density; generally favorable for SEO

How to Improve Code to Text Ratio

• Remove unnecessary HTML, inline styles and commented-out code
• Add more substantive, helpful written content to the page
• Minify HTML with our HTML Compressor to reduce code bulk
• Move CSS and JavaScript to external files
