www.luton.gov.uk: Readability — week 2026-W44

What these mean

Words per page

Main-content word count. Median 266

Reading ease (Flesch)

0–100; higher is easier. ~60+ is plain language; below ~30 is very hard. Median 57

Grade level (Flesch-Kincaid)

US school grade needed to read it; aim for ~8 or lower for the public. Median 10.2

Scored

A reading grade is only meaningful on running prose, so we score a page only when it has enough of it. Pages that are mostly links or cards (too little text) or mostly tables and data (not prose) are left unscored — a grade there would be misleading, no matter how many words they contain. 729 of 1027 scored

Heuristics for triage and trends, not authoritative linguistics. They flag pages worth a human plain-language review.
