Text-to-HTML Ratio

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.

See Accessibility tab for detailed alt text quality analysis.

Search engines use filenames as a signal. Rename to descriptive names like 'team-photo.jpg'.

Why this matters

Most image filenames are non-descriptive (hash/IMG_X) — small SEO miss for Image Search ranking.

PASS
Title: 12 chars
Info::
Page title is set
Got: Hearst Autos
Warning::
Title is only 12 characters — consider expanding
Info::
Title and H1 have very different wording
Alignment helps users confirm they've reached the right page.
Title

"Hearst Autos"

12 characters Too short
Title: Hearst Autos
H1: MotorTrend: New Cars - Car News and Expert Reviews
Match: Very different
Robots: Indexable (no restrictions)

Alignment helps users confirm they've reached the right page.

Why this matters

Title and H1 disagree significantly — Google may treat one as the canonical topic and the other as off-topic, weakening ranking.

Learn more

Title is the SERP headline; H1 is the on-page headline. They should describe the same page. Large divergence (different topics, different keywords) signals confusion and Google may rewrite the title in SERP. Align both to the same primary topic.
