Webpage Readability Grade

Score how easy any web page is to read — Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid Grade, Gunning Fog, SMOG, ARI, Coleman-Liau, and a plain-English reading level.

Live on the Apify Store — run it instantly or call it as an agent tool via Apify MCP.

What you get

  • Fetches the page HTML and extracts the visible text (scripts, styles, and markup stripped).
  • Counts sentences, words, and syllables (heuristic vowel-group counter) plus complex (3+ syllable) words.
  • Computes six industry-standard readability metrics:
    • Flesch Reading Ease (higher = easier)
    • Flesch-Kincaid Grade
    • Gunning Fog
    • SMOG
    • ARI (Automated Readability Index)
    • Coleman-Liau
  • Maps the grade to a reading level: Kindergarten → Elementary → Middle School → High School → College → Graduate.
  • Accepts a single URL or a bulk list, with a configurable cap.

Great for SEO content audits, editorial QA, accessibility checks, and content-marketing pipelines.
