Rule page.content.statistic-density-low

Add concrete numbers + statistics

page.content.statistic-density-low is a check in Crawlmind's site audit that grades medium-impact issues of this kind. This page explains why the rule matters and the exact fix.

Impact: mediumEffort: medium

Why it matters

AI assistants disproportionately quote pages that contain specific numbers: "72% of sites lack llms.txt", "p95 latency dropped from 800ms to 240ms", "the file is typically under 50 lines". A page with no numbers reads as opinion; a page with cited statistics reads as research. The cost is low: usually 2-3 numbers per article is enough.

The fix

Edits that raise the score the most:

- **Replace vague claims with quantified ones**:
  - ❌ "Most sites have slow titles"
  - ✅ "67% of sites we audited in Q1 2026 had titles over 60 characters"

- **Cite a real source** for any external statistic:

```markdown
Crawls take ~5 seconds at p95 ([web.dev TTFB benchmark][1]).

[1]: https://web.dev/articles/ttfb
```

- **Use specific time/size/cost numbers** when describing fixes:
  - "Edge caching cut TTFB from 800ms to 60ms" beats "Edge caching is faster".

If you don't have hard data, link to a published study with one instead of writing the page in qualitative-only language.
