What is main content in this checker?

It is content extracted from likely primary containers such as , , or sections with content-focused classes while stripping navigation, footer, ads, and scripts.

What counts as thin content?

Pages with very low main words or main ratio, shallow headings, or missing meta. Some utility pages can be short, but indexable pages should fully satisfy search intent.

How should I prioritize fixes?

Sort by lowest main-content ratio and highest strategic value (traffic, revenue, or internal-link hub potential). Fix by template groups for faster impact.

Does longer content always rank better?

No. Match depth to intent and make the content scannable with clear H2/H3s, supporting media, examples, and relevant internal links.

Bulk Thin Content Checker

About the Bulk Thin Content Checker

Thin pages dilute topical authority and struggle to rank. The SEOAegis Bulk Thin Content Checker analyzes many URLs at once to measure main vs total words, heading depth, image and link density, sentence structure, and meta completeness—so you can quickly find low-value pages and prioritize fixes.

What This Tool Measures

Main words: Estimated words in the primary content area (after removing navigation/chrome).
Total words: Words across the page body after script/style removal.
Main ratio: Portion of meaningful content vs. total — helpful for template-heavy layouts.
Heading structure: Counts for H1–H6 to spot shallow or missing hierarchy.
Media & links: Image and link counts to gauge richness and internal linking.
Readability: Sentence count and average words per sentence.
Meta signals: Title and description lengths to catch missing or thin snippets.

Why Thin Content Harms Rankings

Poor intent match: Short, generic copy rarely answers searcher needs.
Low engagement: Sparse pages earn fewer clicks and links.
Index bloat: Too many weak URLs dilute crawl budget and topical authority.

How to Fix Thin Content Quickly

Group weak pages by template or topic (tags, categories, product variants).
Expand the main content with clear sections: problem, solution, examples, FAQs, and internal links.
Add supporting assets (images, tables, code blocks, steps) and optimize H2/H3s for sub-topics.
Merge near-duplicates, canonicalize variants, or noindex pages that don’t add value.
Re-audit after updates and monitor the main-content ratio trend.

Pro Tip: Aim for a main-content ratio of ≥ 0.35 on important pages and at least 350–800 words of unique, useful copy, depending on intent and competition.

What counts as thin content?: Pages with very low main words, low main ratio, shallow headings, or missing meta. Utility pages can be short, but most indexable pages should provide depth.
How do I prioritize fixes?: Sort by low main ratio + strategic value (traffic, revenue, internal linking potential). Tackle template groups for leverage.
Will longer content always rank better?: No. Depth should match search intent. Provide complete, scannable answers with headings, media, and internal links.
