Page is a not externally linkable

Putting the least amount of obstacles between your content and the bot is something you want to do. The obstacle in this case being JS and CSS, but it could also be excessive <td>, etc. So, in theory, by linking externally, you are creating a direct path for the bot to follow: from the <html> tag to the actual content. <html>
I think that the text to code ratio is a matter of streamlining. So in a matter of speaking, it is not considered by the bot, but it is a variable for us to consider when optimizing a site for maximum indexing.
<title>
<meta description></meta>
<external js>
<external css>
<body>
CONTENT
</body>
</html>
