What to fix first
Scored with the Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch–Kincaid grade-level formulas applied to your own text — standard, published readability measures, not an invented number. The point isn't a perfect score; it's that copy a visitor can read in a glance is copy that converts.
How the score works
No black box — it's two standard, published readability formulas applied to the copy you paste:
- Flesch Reading Ease = 206.835 − 1.015 × (words ÷ sentences) − 84.6 × (syllables ÷ words). Higher is easier; 60–70 is plain English.
- Flesch–Kincaid Grade = 0.39 × (words ÷ sentences) + 11.8 × (syllables ÷ words) − 15.59. The US school grade your copy is written at.
Most people skim the web at roughly an 8th-grade level, so for a small-business site we aim for a reading ease of 60 or higher. Want a hand getting there? We rewrite for clarity on a free consult — no pitch.
