Why it matters
There is no magic word count, but very short pages often don’t answer the searcher’s question well enough to rank. Text that only appears after JavaScript runs isn’t counted.
How to fix it
Add useful text that answers what visitors come for, or merge thin pages into a stronger one. For pages that don’t need to rank (a login page, say) you can ignore this.
After the fix, open the page’s report and choose Run again to confirm it passes.
