Why readability matters on LinkedIn

LinkedIn's feed is built for scanning, not reading. Readers make a split-second judgment on your first line, then decide whether to tap 'see more'. If your hook is too long, too vague, or buried in complex words, the post dies before it starts.

Short paragraphs, simple sentences, and a clear call-to-action are the three mechanics that consistently drive comments and reach. The readability score gives you a number for each one so you can fix the right thing.

This tool runs entirely in your browser. No API call, no account needed. Paste your draft, see the score update as you type, and use the tips to refine before you post.

How each dimension is scored

Hook (25%)

Word count of your first line. Under 8 words scores 100. Over 12 drops to 40.

Readability (25%)

Flesch Reading Ease formula. Short sentences and simple words push this score up.

Structure (20%)

Number of non-empty lines. More short paragraphs score higher. Target 6 or more lines.

Emojis (15%)

Emoji density per 100 words. Zero emojis scores 60. 1-5% scores 100. Above 10% drops to 30.

CTA (15%)

Whether the post ends with a question or invitation to engage. Binary: 100 if present, 20 if not.
