Understanding Text Analysis & Readability
Word counting and text analysis are essential for writers, students, SEO professionals, and content creators. Beyond simple counting, understanding readability metrics helps ensure your content reaches and engages your intended audience effectively.
Readability scores like Flesch-Kincaid and Gunning Fog measure how difficult text is to understand. These formulas consider factors like sentence length, syllable count, and word complexity. A Flesch Reading Ease score of 60-70 is considered ideal for general audiences.
Keyword density is crucial for SEO. Aim for 1-2% density for your target keywords—too low and search engines may not understand your topic, too high and you risk being penalized for keyword stuffing. This tool helps you find the perfect balance.
