On-page

Content length

Checks if pages contain enough text (minimum 300 words).

Why does this matter?

Pages with too little text give search engines insufficient signals to judge relevance. Google generally prefers comprehensive, in-depth content for informational queries.

How to fix it?

Aim for at least 300 words for simple pages and 1000+ for blog articles and explainer pages. Add real value - don't pad text. Use subheadings, lists and examples to make content scannable.

This check scores from 0 to 100. Below 50 is a fail, 50 to 89 is a warning, 90 or above is good. After each crawl you see the score per page in your report, with a short note on what we found.
