The Text to HTML ratio affects the way in which search engines index a web page. Clean and less source code is quickly indexed by the search engines and also helps to reduce the web page size. When writing code for your web pages, extra comment tags, redundant HTML tags and unnecessary blank spaces should be avoided. JavaScript and CSS codes should be moved to separate files and included in the source code of the main page through “include” files. This would help to improve the “Text to HTML ratio” of the web page and the search engines will have to go through less code in order to index your page.
