Readability Score

What it does and what it gives you

Measures how easily your text reads. You get Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level and the Dutch Flesch-Douma score. It also detects long sentences, passive voice and unnecessary filler words.

How to use it

1. Edit a post.
2. Open Readability in the meta box.
3. Review the score and specific improvement points.
4. Split long sentences, replace passive constructions and avoid jargon.
5. Repeat until the indicator turns green.

Example

Your text about "mortgage advice" scores 35 (difficult). The tool shows that 40% of your sentences are longer than 20 words. Split those sentences and use more lists.

Potential issues & solutions

• Score is too high: for specialized B2B content the text can be more difficult; focus on clear structure instead.
• Dutch text analyzed as English: check Settings → General to ensure the site language is correct.
