Content readability scoring
Our readability scorer measures how easy your content is to read — based on sentence length, word length, paragraph structure, and use of connective words. The tool supports Hebrew and English and returns a 0–100 score plus specific recommendations. More readable content keeps visitors on the page longer (Dwell Time), gets more shares, and tends to rank better. Content that is too dense — even when it is technically correct — loses readers in the first paragraph.
Where it matters most
On blog articles, long category pages, FAQ pages, and "About" pages that need to convince. Less critical for technical articles whose audience is experts. If you write for a broad audience — aim for 60+. If you write specialist B2B content — 50+ is fine. A score of 30 or below usually means sentences are too long or words are too rare.
How the score is calculated
In English the tool uses standard Flesch Reading Ease. In Hebrew, an adapted formula that accounts for average sentence length and the percentage of complex words (3+ syllables). Factors that lower the score: sentences over 25 words, paragraphs over 150 words, frequent rare words. Factors that raise it: short sentences, varied structure, connective words ("therefore", "additionally", "in contrast").
Patterns worth fixing
Long sentences with three commas — split them. Paragraphs starting with the same word three times in a row — vary the order. Acronyms and jargon used without explanation — add a parenthetical the first time. And, most importantly: lack of subheadings (H2/H3) in a long article — beyond readability, this hurts SEO because Google cannot understand the content structure.
How to improve readability
Add 1–2 subheadings per 300 words. Split long paragraphs. Use bulleted lists. Ask yourself: "would a 13-year-old understand this sentence?" — if not, simplify. In Rank+, the content engine is tuned to consistently produce content with a 60+ readability score, automatically including subheadings, bullet points, and sentences of moderate length.
How it looks in practice
Complex sentence: "If you are interested in achieving a significant improvement in the organic ranking performance of your website, it is uncompromisingly recommended to dedicate substantial resources to writing high-quality, optimized content." — 35 words, low score. Improved: "Want to rank organically? Write good content. That is the foundation." — three short sentences, high score. Second example — a technical article with a 22 score (hard to read) became 67 after adding subheadings every 250 words, splitting paragraphs to a max of four lines, and replacing technical terms with plain explanations on first use. Traffic to the article rose 31% the next month, with no SEO change at all.
