Frequently asked questions

How is the score calculated?

The score is based on the Flesch reading-ease approach: it combines words per sentence and syllables per word into a single 0–100 value. Shorter sentences and simpler words score higher.

What is an ideal readability score?

For web content, 50–70 (high-school level) is usually ideal. Content aimed at a broad audience benefits from higher scores, while technical text naturally scores lower.

How do I improve my score?

Shorten sentences, replace long multi-syllable words with simpler ones, break up paragraphs and avoid unnecessary filler phrases.

Does readability affect SEO?

It is not a direct ranking factor, but easy-to-read content is read longer and abandoned less often — which improves user satisfaction and indirectly helps SEO.
