# Uncompressed HTML is over Googlebot's 2 MB fetch limit
`seo/html-too-large` · severity **error** · category SEO · detected by `void seo` and `void audit`
## Why it matters
Googlebot reads only the first 2 MB of an HTML file (uncompressed); content, links and JSON-LD past the cut-off don't exist for indexing. Next.js inlines the RSC payload, roughly doubling text weight.
## How to fix it
Paginate long lists, move large data out of Client Component props, avoid inlining big SVG/CSS, and keep below 1 MB.
