View Source & Page Source Code on Chrome, Safari, Firefox | Mobile, Android & iPhone | How to Guide
With this HTML Viewer, you can View and analyze the source code of any live URL. It instantly fetches the code and provides comprehensive SEO analysis on any device - Mac, PC, tablet, or mobile.
The Text/HTML ratio is the percentage of visible text content compared to total HTML code (plain text chars ÷ total HTML source chars × 100%). This is a "health indicator" rather than a direct ranking factor: Ratio ≥25% indicates sufficient content; <10% may suggest code bloat or thin content. Low ratios typically mean excessive inline styles/JS, deep DOM nesting, leading to large page size, slow FCP, and less crawlable content. Use as a "sniffer": when issues are found, optimize by minifying code, externalizing JS, compressing whitespace—rather than stuffing text or deleting necessary tags.
