template skeleton

warning template-skeleton Content quality at scale

The same headings in the same order across many pages tell a reader — and a ranking system — that the pages were stamped out. Structure that follows each row's own data is both better reading and better evidence of effort.

What indexgap reports

The finding reads:

warning  template-skeleton  the same … headings in the same order on … other pages

How to fix it

Change the heading structure to follow this row's data. The same skeleton on every page reads as stamped out.

How it behaves at scale

Collapsed when it fires template-wide. If it appears on 90% or more of the pages — or of one language version — of a site with at least 20 pages, it is a property of the template and is reported once, with the count, instead of once per page.

Suppressed on JavaScript shells. A page with no text in its source HTML would trip this check for a reason that is already reported as js-shell, and repeating it four times is not four times as informative.

Finding it

pipx install indexgap
cd your-project
indexgap init
indexgap check

Then indexgap brief turns every finding on this page into a work order in indexgap-briefs/, with the thresholds the result has to satisfy and the command to check it.
