Pages with a word count that is below the default 200 words.
There isn’t a minimum word count for pages in reality, but the search engines do require descriptive text to understand the purpose of a page.
This filter should only be used as a rough guide to help identify pages that might be improved by adding more descriptive content in the context of the website and page’s purpose.
Some websites, such as ecommerce, will naturally have lower word counts, which can be acceptable if a products details can be communicated efficiently.
How to Analyse in the SEO Spider
View URLs with this issue in the ‘Content’ tab and ‘Low Content Pages’ filter, and export all URLs using the ‘Export’ button.
The word count is based upon the content area settings used in the analysis which can be configured via ‘Config > Content > Area’.
What Triggers This Issue
This issue is triggered when pages have a word count below the default threshold of 200 words.
