Most well-ranking pages have 300+ words of substantive content.

Why this matters

Thin content (<300 words) rarely ranks — Google quality guidelines explicitly call out thin pages.

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.

Action

REVIEW
Issues found
Info::
Canonical tag present
Got: https://www.instagram.com/
Warning::
Canonical does not match final URL (https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2F&is_from_rle)
Critical::
Canonical target returns 429
Search engines cannot follow this canonical, effectively orphaning this page.
Warning::
Canonical URL redirects
A canonical URL that redirects sends mixed signals to search engines.
Info::
Canonical points to a different domain
Canonical URL Problem
Page URL https://instagram.com Canonical https://www.instagram.com/ Match Points to a different page Target 429

Search engines cannot follow this canonical, effectively orphaning this page.

Why this matters

Canonical URL returns a non-200 status — Google can't follow the canonical to confirm the relationship.

Source: Google Search Central

A canonical URL that redirects sends mixed signals to search engines.

Why this matters

A canonical URL that itself redirects sends mixed signals to Google — link equity may not consolidate as intended.

When the canonical link points to a URL that 301-redirects elsewhere, Google has to choose: follow the canonical chain or treat the redirect as authoritative. Behavior is inconsistent. Set canonical to the FINAL destination URL (post-redirect) so the signal is unambiguous.
