Keyword density & readability
Paste in a text and choose its language. I’ll show you how often you use your keyword, which words you repeat most, and how easy it is to read.
Everything stays in your browser. You can safely paste in an unpublished draft.
Paste the body text only, without menus and footers. Otherwise I’ll count those too.
Several words are fine. I look for the exact phrase and ignore upper and lower case.
It decides which readability index to use and which words to ignore, like articles and prepositions.

What the Gulpease index is
A readability index designed specifically for Italian, developed in 1988 at Sapienza University of Rome by GULP (Gruppo Universitario Linguistico Pedagogico). It counts letters, words and sentences. Short sentences and short words make a text easier.
Gulpease = 89 + (300 × frasi − 10 × lettere) ÷ parole
It runs from 0 to 100, and higher means easier. It measures form, not meaning, so a perfectly clear text full of long words can still score low.
For a site aimed at everyone, above 60 is a good target. A technical text for specialists can sit lower without any problem.
What Flesch Reading Ease is
The most widely used readability score for English. It looks at how long your sentences are and how many syllables your words have on average.
Flesch = 206.835 − 1.015 × (parole ÷ frasi) − 84.6 × (sillabe ÷ parole)
Higher means easier. Syllables are estimated by an algorithm, so your score may differ by a few points from other tools.
Why not use Flesch for Italian? Because it’s calibrated for English. Italian words are longer on average, so the score comes out skewed. That’s what Gulpease is for.
Reads well, but nobody finds it?
Then the problem comes earlier: which question you wrote it for. That’s exactly where the editorial plan starts.
