Content vs. clutter Content Ratio
How much of your text is real content, and how much is menu, footer and cookie banner? The higher the content share, the clearer the AI reads.
Experimental. The tools are based on public statements by AI providers, current studies, published assessments by AI and SEO experts and hands-on experience of site owners. AI platforms do not disclose their criteria, so the results are approximations, experience and observations.
1What is it?
TagSpion splits the visible text into three zones: main content, navigation and footer, banners and popups. Each zone shows word count and share, plus what it was detected by.
2Why it matters
A page with 300 words of content and 900 words of menu looks like a navigation page to machines. AI search then finds the actual content less well or cites the wrong thing.
3What TagSpion checks
| Check | Rating |
|---|---|
| Main content share | green from 60 % · yellow 40 to 60 % · red under 40 % |
| Zone detected by | <main>, <nav>, <footer>, ARIA roles or estimate |
4How to fix it
- <main> around the content, <nav> around menus, <footer> around the footer. Keep large mega menus lean or load them on click.
- Keep cookie banners short, the text counts.
<body>
<header>…logo, title…</header>
<nav>…menu…</nav>
<main>
<article>…the actual content…</article>
</main>
<footer>…address, legal…</footer>
</body>5Frequently asked questions
Is the result inaccurate without <main>?
Yes, then TagSpion estimates from the longest text block. A <main> makes the result exact and helps the bots too.
