Text-to-HTML Ratio

Very low ratio suggests heavy framework overhead or boilerplate.

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

Markup Quality
1 markup-quality issue(s) detected
PASS
1 markup-quality issue(s) detected
Info::
`<meta charset>` declared at byte 5162 -- past the 1024-byte spec window
The HTML5 spec requires the encoding declaration to appear in the first 1024 bytes. Browsers that started parsing in a default encoding and discover the real charset later DISCARD parsing state and re-parse from the top -- a measurable hit to First Contentful Paint. Move the `<meta charset>` tag to be the first child of `<head>`.
A+
