Motivation
I wanted to try out creating my first Chrome extension and needed a simple SEO utility.
Turns out there are not many utilities out there that count text to html ratio.
I calculate text to html ratio as textContent/bodyInnerHtml.
I don't think text content should include a style or a script tag.
There may be some differences in metrics compared to other apps,
due to different content scopes and formulas.
