How to optimise Text to HTML ratio for SEO by separating the HTML into multiple files?

Question

I have run into an issue with my Wordpress/Elementor site and I hope you guys have any advice.

I did an site audit with Semrush, and as it turns out the ratio of text to HTML is only 1-2% but it should be at least 10% for SEO optimisation.

My site already has relatively little text because it is just a way to redirect users to my services. I looked into the source code and I noticed a lot of my plugins were adding unnecessary html classes and scripts. After disabling most of these plugins and clearing the cache, the ratio is still way too low.

I think the main issue now is that Elementor adds a lot of html classes to every element which is why the ratio is off. Since my pages are built with Elementor, I cant get rid of those.

Are there any tools or plugins available that clean up the HTML code of Wordpress/Elementor sites? Maybe by separating the HTML into multiple files (especially the elements)? I honestly don't know what to do, so I'd truly appreciate your input.

Edit: I already enabled the settings from the Automtimise plugin with no success.

Elementor does add a lot of extra html markup. Not much you can do other than recreate the html without elementor. If you use elementor and create a section, then put html in an html widget you can bypass all the extra stuff. You can also create a shortcode to bypass the elementor editor then have your html in a file and include that in your shortcode. Also, don't nest the containers too much in elementor, that can add a lot of html markup.
