The Content First module provides a simple tool for viewing the plain text content of any node without design, media, or layout distractions. It helps content teams, editors, and designers focus on what matters most: the content itself.
Whether you're drafting, reviewing, or rethinking your site’s messaging, this module supports a true “content-first” approach by giving you a clean, layout-free version of your page.
Features
Content tab
The content first module adds a new tab to every node page. That tab shows a clean, structured text version of the page content.
From this tab, you can:
- View all text content (without layout noise): Markdown and simple HTML formats
- Copy it with one click
- Download it as plain text: Markdown and simple HTML
No configuration. No views to build. Just access to the content.
Markdown content visualization
(simple) HTML content visualization
Headings tree visualization
Headings tree visualization, including missing headers (SEO/Accessibility)
Content export
The module allows to select multiple content and download them all at once into a .zip so yo can process the data elsewhere.
Content First Audit (sub-module)
Available since 2.0.2. The optional Content First Audit sub-module persists heading analysis results on every node save and provides site-wide reporting. It stores the H1 count and heading hierarchy validity per node and language, and includes:
- An admin report at
/admin/reports/content-firstlisting all nodes with their heading health, filterable by title, content type, language, H1 count, and hierarchy status. - A status report entry on
/admin/reports/statussummarizing nodes without H1, with multiple H1s, or with broken heading hierarchy.
Use cases:
- Content strategy and copywritting review sessions (human or AI)
- Pre-design content validation
- Content audits or UX writing sprints
- Minimal reading interface for accessibility reviews
