Get Readability Scores

Read-only
Yoast SEO SEO yoast-seo/get-readability-scores

Read the Yoast readability score for your most recently modified posts.

Requires the Yoast SEO plugin on WordPress 6.9+. Each ability only registers when its matching analysis is enabled in Yoast (SEO analysis, readability analysis, or inclusive language analysis), and the current user needs the 'wpseo_manage_options' capability.

What it does

This ability returns Yoast's readability score for a batch of your most recently modified posts. For each post it reports the title, a score slug (na, bad, ok, or good), and a human-readable label describing how readable the content is. Like the SEO scores ability, it takes a single number_of_posts input (1–100, defaulting to 10) so you can scope the check to as many recent posts as you want. Handing these scores to an AI assistant lets it spot posts with poor readability and suggest concrete fixes in the same conversation. The ability is registered only when Yoast's readability analysis is enabled.
