Information Density Checker: Is Your Content Easy for AI to Quote?
AI retrieval works on chunks, not whole pages, so dense, self-contained, well-structured sections are far easier to quote than walls of filler. Glippy measures how much substantive information each section carries, whether it stands alone as a quotable chunk, and where boilerplate and padding dilute your answers.
What Is Information Density?
Information density is the ratio of substantive, factual content to filler, repetition, and boilerplate in a piece of writing. Dense content packs claims, data, and explanation into each section without padding. For AI systems, high density means more usable signal per chunk and a higher chance your content gets retrieved and quoted.
What Glippy Checks
- Information density ratio - substantive content vs filler
- Self-contained sections - sections that stand alone as quotable chunks
- Claim-evidence pairing - data points paired with context and explanation
- Foam & boilerplate detection - filler phrases and repetition
- Table & list structure - labeled headers and proper nesting
Why Density Matters for AI Citations
When an AI system answers a question, it pulls the most relevant chunks it can find and quotes them directly. Dense, self-contained sections give it clean material to lift, while filler-heavy pages bury the useful claims and get passed over. Tightening density across your most citable pages raises the odds that AI quotes you instead of a competitor.
