Why It Matters

Write Content People Actually Finish

Content that's hard to read loses visitors, no matter how good the information is. Most successful web content aims for a reading level that a wide audience can comfortably follow — roughly the level of a popular newspaper.

This tool uses the Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level formulas — the same standards used across publishing and education — to score your text and suggest whether to simplify it.
