Readability: Why does the number of words in the Siteimprove platform differ from the number in the Page Report?
Answer
The number of words may differ because Readability calculations in the Siteimprove platform are based on what the machine learning algorithm determines to be page content, while the Page Report displays results for the entire page. Depending on how the algorithm identifies content on a page, discrepancies can occur between the counts shown in the platform and the Page Report.
Explanation
When words and long sentences are identified for Readability, they are based on what our machine learning algorithm determines as content.
When looking at Readability issues in a Page Report, you will see results for the entire page content, and not only what our algorithm determined as content. Therefore, depending on how well our algorithm performs on your pages, there might be a discrepancy between the numbers we show in the platform, and what you see in the Page Reports.
