Thin content

Detects pages with too little unique content.

Why does this matter?

Google's Panda update penalizes websites with many thin, low-quality pages. Thin content pages "dilute" your domain's authority and can lead to an overall ranking drop.

How to fix it?

Consolidate thin pages or enrich them with real value. Consider noindexing pages without content. Remove or merge pages that contain only minimal information.

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.
