Paste your page copy
Why paste? Copy the actual words from your homepage, About, or Visit page and paste them in. We read exactly what your visitors see, word for word, instead of guessing, so the findings are about your real copy.
Part 1
What we found
These are pulled from your copy and sorted by type. Edit freely, add anything we missed, or remove anything that's fine in context.
Keep your tradition. Naming your denomination is a gift to a visitor, not jargon to hide. We only flag words a newcomer would genuinely trip on, not every faith word, so plain ones like worship and prayer stay put. Where a word does need a hand, the goal is to add a quick explanation so a newcomer can follow, not to erase what makes you who you are.
⛪
Denominational vocabulary

Program names without context

Religious shorthand
🔒
Assumed shared knowledge
Part 2
Your retirement list
For each phrase, a clearer version. For your tradition's words, keep them and add a short explanation in parentheses; for true jargon, swap in everyday words. We've suggested wording, but make it sound like you. The test: "Would a curious neighbor who's never been to church understand this?"
