Text-to-HTML Ratio

2% text 98% HTML

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: 9 chars
PASS
Title: 9 chars
Info::
Page title is set
Got: MediaWiki
Warning::
Title is only 9 characters — consider expanding
Info::
Title and H1 have very different wording
Alignment helps users confirm they've reached the right page.
Title

"MediaWiki"

9 characters Too short
Title: MediaWiki
H1: MediaWiki is a collaboration and documentation platform brought to you by a vibrant community.
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.

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.
