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.
