This plugin extracts the text of all your pages and posts from HTML code and calculates the content ratio based on this information. #### Why is it important? The code to text ratio of a page is used by search engines and spiders to calculate the relevancy of a web page. A higher code to text ratio gives you a better chance of getting a good page ranking for your page. Not all search engines are using the code to text ratio in their index algorithm, but most of them do. So having a higher code to text ratio than your competitors gives you a good start for on-site optimization. #### % Ratios and meanings: * 0% – 10%: Consider adding more content or revamping your code. * 10% – 25%: Content is moderate, but always room to improve. * 25% – 70%: Generally good, but don’t over do it. * 70% – 100%: If you’ve got higher than about 70% or so then you’ve got a lot of text and not a lot of code, which might sound like a good thing, but could represent spam too. #### Ways to lower the amount of code on a web page * Use CSS layouts instead of table-based layouts. * Put CSS and Javascript into external files. * Take out tags that have no purpose. * Use valid code. After all, a page scoring 25% which works everywhere is usually better than one which scores 50% but fails in most browsers. * Write more text on your posts. ## Screenshots * [[ * WPCode Content Ratio > Purpouse and home ratio detail * [[ * WPCode Content Ratio > Config page ## Installation 1.
