Point 18: People read faster with a longer line length, but
they prefer a short line length.
- 100 characters per line is the optimal length for on-screen reading speed.
- We actually prefer shorter line lengths between 45-72 characters per line.
- We read one single wide column faster than multiple column pages.
- But we prefer multiple column layouts
- People READ longer line lengths and single column text FASTER.
- People LIKE shorter line lengths and multiple columns, but read SLOWER.
- A study was conducted through CXL Institute to compare
form completion times for a single-column form versus a
multi-column form. The results shared that the
single-column form was completed faster at an average
15.4 seconds than the multi-column form.
