What is a "Readability Score"?

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

There are several algorithms available for measuring scores, and these use factors like sentence length, syllable count, percentage of multi-syllable words and so on to calculate their own readability score.

When I was using Yoast's SEO plugin, there's a feature in there that helps people monitor the readability of their content. The Flesch's Test. Since I'm no longer using Yoast's, I have shifted to All in One SEO, I miss using it. But since I got used to having my content format to conform with Flesch Test, their pattern of content writing have become natural (integrated) with me.

Thanks for sharing that site. Now, we have an "alternative"!
