THINN — how it works

How THINN samples hub pages for thin body, multiple H1s, noindex hubs and weak titles — then splits Do-this into Marketing vs Dev tickets.

What THINN is

THINN is a free tool for hub and listing pages that look thin or messy in the live HTML — weak body copy, multiple H1s, noindex hubs, missing titles.

You paste URLs. THINN fetches each page live, scores it, and hands you a Do-this with an owner: Marketing or Dev. No Search Console login. Public HTTP only.

What it checks

  • HTTP status and final URL after redirects.
  • Visible text length (thin band under ~800 characters of stripped body text).
  • H1 count and samples.
  • Title presence.
  • noindex from meta robots or X-Robots-Tag.

How we judge

PASS means OK — live 200, enough body text, one clear H1, usable title, not noindex.

FAIL is labelled with one verdict and an owner:

  • THIN (Marketing, P0) — expand unique value on the template (purpose, proof, FAQs).
  • MULTI_H1 (Dev, P1) — one H1 per template; demote extras to H2.
  • NOINDEX_HUB (Dev, P1) — confirm the hub should be noindex; if it should rank, remove noindex and strengthen content.
  • TITLE_H1_MISS (Marketing, P1) — add a clear title and a single H1 that matches intent.
  • FETCH_ERROR (Dev, P0) — re-run; check the host.

Same page, same rules, same result. The owner column is so Marketing and Dev each get their own ticket list.

How to run a check

  1. 01Sign in with your email — one-tap link, no password.
  2. 02Paste up to 30 hub URLs (or load the nikkos.io example).
  3. 03Hit Run. Filter by verdict or owner, then export.

Turning results into a ticket

Split the board by owner so each team gets one job.

  • Filter Marketing fails → content ticket (thin body, weak title/H1).
  • Filter Dev fails → template ticket (multi H1, noindex hub, fetch errors).
  • Export CSV or selected URLs with the Do-this column as the ticket body.

Live sample in, two clean tickets out.

Good to know

  • Public HTTP only — no crawl login, no Search Console OAuth.
  • Capped at 30 URLs per run.
  • Free forever. Email sign-in only.
  • Sibling tools: LOCRA for sitemaps, RAUM for Pages reasons, KNOT for canonicals, GATE before you request indexing, VEXA for robots traps.
