Text-to-HTML Ratio

2% text 98% HTML

3 KB / 162 KB

Very low ratio suggests heavy framework overhead or boilerplate.

Why this matters

Informational: ratio of visible text bytes to total HTML bytes. Very low ratios suggest excessive markup overhead.

Meta Tags
Title: 22 chars
PASS
Title: 22 chars
Info::
Page title is set
Got: The University of Iowa
Warning::
Title is only 22 characters — consider expanding
Info::
Title and H1 are identical
Consider differentiating — the title is for search results, the H1 is for the page.
Title

"The University of Iowa"

22 characters Too short
Title: The University of Iowa
H1: The University of Iowa
Match: Similar ✓
Robots: Indexable (no restrictions)

Consider differentiating — the title is for search results, the H1 is for the page.

Why this matters

Title and H1 match exactly — internally consistent but misses an opportunity to optimize each for its audience (Title for SERP CTR, H1 for on-page).

Title and H1 don't have to be identical — and often shouldn't be. The Title competes for SERP click-through (lead with keyword + value prop), while the H1 confirms to the visitor they're on the right page (more conversational is fine). Differentiating gains both surfaces.
