JGE Article Analyzer for Wordpress is a Wordpress plugin that performs text analysis of your posts and assists you in making sure that comprehension difficulty of your posts matches reading and comprehension skills of your desired audience. Our plugin uses a number of mathematical formulas developed by scientists to determine the US school grade level needed to understand your posts. We calculate:

• Flesch-Kincaid Grade level
• Gunning-Fog score
• Coleman-Liau Index
• SMOG Index
• Automated Readability Index
• Averaged Grade Level

These scores consider a number of factors like average word length or number of characters per word (number of characters divided by the number of words), average sentence length in words or average number of words in sentence (number of words divided by the number of sentences), average number of sentences, average number of syllables per word (the number of syllables divided by the number of words), and the count the "complex" words (those with three or more syllables).

We calculate the average of the scores listed above and compare it to the intended grade level you preconfigured for your blog and based on the result give you hints about how to modify your post. This tool, if used regularely, will make the difference between users reading your blog and users bouncing back away from your website.
