low_text_ratioShort answer
Less than 5% of the HTML is visible text, on a page over 100 KB with fewer than 500 words. Google's John Mueller has said the text-to-HTML ratio "makes no sense" as a metric. There is nothing to fix for ranking. If the page is slow, look at its total size — see HTML exceeds the 2 MB limit and Heavy inline script.
Why it matters
It does not for search. The row is here because other tools report it as an issue and people ask. A large HTML with little text can hint at embedded JSON, base64 images or inline scripts that slow the page — those have their own rules.
How Glimana detects it
Text share below 5%, word count below 500, HTML over 100,000 bytes.
