Information Density: Cooks.com – Signal Evidence & AI Readability

Information Density — The Lens

Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.

Info Density Power-words vs. Substance ratio.

Information density is surprisingly high regarding specific nouns; the site lists hundreds of specific recipe titles like DAD’S HOMEMADE PANCAKES and BELLE’S APPLE-CINNAMON-WALNUT COFFEE CAKE. Unlike modern corporate sites, it avoids power-word-heavy headings, opting for functional labels like REVIEWED RECIPES and NEW FEATURES. However, it loses points for significant repetition, as the sidebar and navigation blocks constitute a large portion of the page character counts. The ratio of fluff to substance is low because the site focuses on a utilitarian database structure rather than marketing-led storytelling.

Information Density is read straight from the body copy: how much of the text carries grounded, checkable substance versus hollow filler. Below is the clean text the engine analyzed, then the industry’s known generic-claim patterns to weigh it against.

📝 The Narrative — clean text per page (the substance-vs-filler signal)

🧭 Industry Context — common generic-claim patterns in Media, News & Publishing to weigh the text against
Generic Claims: trusted news source, unbiased reporting, the truth, delivered, journalism that matters, breaking news first, award-winning journalism…
Red Flags: no named editorial staff, sponsored content without clear labelling, no corrections or complaints policy, ownership and funding not disclosed, aggregated content presented as original reporting, no distinction between news and opinion…
Semantic Drift Patterns: claims editorial independence but content is sponsored, claims fact-checked but no corrections policy visible, homepage says investigative but content is aggregated wire stories, claims community voice but no local reporting staff…
Proof Expectations: named journalists and editorial staff, published editorial standards and ethics code, corrections and complaints policy, ownership and funding transparency, press council or regulatory membership, advertising and editorial separation policy…
