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.
