A readability score is a computer-calculated index which can tell you what level of education someone will need to be able to read a piece of text easily.

Readable uses tried and tested readability formulas, as well as our own proprietary scoring systems, to analyse the readability of your website or text and recommend ways to improve upon it.

To ensure your content is readable by 85% of the general public, you should aim for a readability score of Grade 8 or better.
