What is it?

What is the Readability Checker?

A tool that scores your content against four classic readability formulas (Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid Grade, Gunning Fog, and ARI). It also surfaces sentence and word issues so you know exactly what to fix.

Most web content should aim for a 7th to 8th grade reading level.
