FAQ
Everything you need to know about readability analysis
What is the Gulpease Index and how is it calculated?
The Gulpease Index is a readability index developed specifically for the Italian language. It is calculated with the formula: 89 + (300 x sentences - 10 x letters) / words. The score ranges from 0 to 100: above 80 is very easy to read, below 40 is very difficult.
What is the difference between Gulpease and Flesch-Kincaid?
The Gulpease Index was developed for Italian and considers the letters/words ratio, while Flesch-Kincaid was designed for English and is based on syllables per word. For Italian texts, Gulpease is more reliable.
How can I improve the readability of my texts?
To improve readability: use short sentences (15-20 words), prefer simple and common words, avoid unnecessary technical jargon, use active voice instead of passive, organize text in short paragraphs and use bullet points when possible.
What readability score should I aim for?
It depends on the target audience. For web content and general communications, aim for a Gulpease of 60-80 (easy). For technical or academic documents, 40-60 may be acceptable. For communications aimed at a wide audience, try to exceed 80.
Does my data stay private?
Yes, and not because we promise it: this tool runs entirely inside your browser. What you type or upload never leaves your device, so it never reaches a server of ours and there is nothing we could keep, read or lose. You can check it yourself: open the page, disconnect from the internet, and the tool keeps working.
Do you store what I enter?
No. There is no database behind this tool: we do not store your files, your text or your results. When you close the tab nothing is left — not here with us, because it never arrived, and not anywhere else.
Do you profile me? Are you GDPR compliant?
We do not profile you: there is no account to create, we never ask for your email to use a tool, and we keep no profile of what you do. We are an Italian company and we work under the GDPR and the other European rules, with the privacy notice and the consent request in plain sight. One thing we say in full rather than hiding it behind a slogan: the ads on the page are Google's, and Google may use cookies to personalise them. You decide from the consent banner: if you say no the ads stay, but they are not personalised, and the tool works exactly the same.
If it is free, how do you make money?
From the ads on the page, and that is all. We do not sell your data, there is no hidden paid plan, there is no limit that eventually asks for your card, and you do not have to sign up. The ads pay for the servers and for the time we spend writing the tools: that is how we can keep them open to everyone.
