The six readability formulas
| Formula | Based on | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Flesch Reading Ease | Words per sentence, syllables per word | 0–100, higher is easier |
| Flesch–Kincaid Grade | Same inputs, scaled to US school grades | Grade level |
| Gunning Fog | Sentence length and words of 3+ syllables | Years of schooling |
| SMOG | Words of 3+ syllables per 30 sentences | Grade level (best for 30+ sentences) |
| Coleman–Liau | Letters per word and sentences per 100 words | Grade level |
| Automated Readability Index | Characters per word and words per sentence | Grade level |
Syllables are counted with English pronunciation rules (silent final “e”, “-es” and “-ed” endings, vowel groups), so the results match other readability tools closely but not always exactly. The scores are designed for English text.
Why readability matters for SEO
Search engines don’t use a readability score directly, but readers do: easy text keeps people on the page, answers their question faster and gets shared more. Most successful web pages land between grade 6 and 9. Check the length and keywords too with the Word Counter and Keyword Density Checker.
