Understanding Readability Scores

Readability formulas analyze factors like sentence length and word complexity to estimate how difficult a text is to read. A lower "grade level" score generally means the content is more accessible to a wider audience. For example, a score of 8 means the text is likely understandable for an average 8th-grade student. For general web content, aiming for a grade level of around 8-9 is a good practice.
