Readability

  • Auditor

By using understandable content you’re building trust with your audience, and improving your reputation as an inclusive and accessible organization. This makes Readability a key factor to your website’s success.

Readability is a measure of how easy a piece of text is to read. The Auditor will scan your website’s content and give each web page a Readability total. Based on the Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease score. With this formula, text is reviewed for word count, sentence length and syllables and scored between 1-100. The higher the reading score, the easier a piece of text is to read. Use the Auditor to understand your website’s average Readability score, and prioritize where to start improving.
