How to Use
Type or paste text in the box above. All counts update instantly as you type. Use the toolbar to clear, copy, select all, or change case.

Readability Guidelines
Following W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, clear and concise writing improves both accessibility and SEO performance.
- Sentence length: Aim for 15–20 words average for web content. Shorter sentences improve comprehension on mobile devices.
- Paragraph length: Keep to 2–4 sentences for web. Long paragraphs increase bounce rate especially on mobile screens.
- Reading level: Grade 8–10 reading level works for most web audiences. Avoid jargon unless writing for specialists.
- Subheadings: Use H2/H3 every 200–300 words to break content and improve scanability for both users and search engines.
