A web page needs a specific amount of text visible without scrolling.
This visible area is called the viewport. A 'safe band' means there are enough words below the fold. The 'fold' is the bottom edge of the viewport.
A standard viewport size is 1280 pixels wide by 800 pixels high. The safe band for text is at least 30 words below the fold. If a page does not meet this, the target is 70 words below the fold. This adds 40 extra words as a buffer.
A developer creates a new web page. The page shows only 10 words below the fold. This is not enough. The developer adds more examples and lists. Now, 75 words are below the fold. The page meets the target.
