Readability affects how long visitors stay on your page, how likely they are to share your content, and ultimately your search rankings. Search engines favor content that's easy to read and understand. Good readability scores can improve user engagement metrics like time on page and bounce rate, which are ranking factors.
This tool calculates scores using six industry-standard formulas: Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, Gunning Fog, SMOG, Automated Readability Index (ARI), and Dale-Chall.
Readable text uses shorter sentences, simpler words, and active voice. It avoids jargon and complex structures that might confuse readers.
Break up long sentences, use shorter words, add subheadings, and write in active voice. Aim for a Flesch Reading Ease score above 60 for general audiences.
No single score is ideal for all content. Blog posts might target scores around 60-70, while academic content can be higher. Consider your audience's reading level.
