What should you do when a page contains much more code than visible text?
Code-to-text ratio is not something to treat as a primary ranking factor, but pages should still contain enough useful, relevant content to explain their purpose clearly. A low ratio can sometimes point to thin content, bloated templates, excessive scripts, or unnecessary markup, although the ratio alone does not determine whether a page will rank.
Focus first on improving the quality and usefulness of the page rather than trying to reach a specific percentage. Important service and category pages should contain clear, topic-focused content, while supporting pages can strengthen them through relevant internal links and logical navigation.
