Text is hard to read
Low priorityContent
The page’s Flesch reading ease score is under 50, meaning long sentences and complex words that many visitors struggle with.
What triggers this issue
- Readability: fairly difficult (Flesch 30–49).
- Readability: very difficult (Flesch under 30).
Why it matters
Most people skim, especially on phones. Dense text makes visitors leave sooner, and clear writing is easier for search engines and AI assistants to quote.
The Flesch score is an English heuristic based on sentence length and syllables per word; technical audiences can tolerate lower scores.
How to fix it
- Keep most sentences under 20 words and paragraphs to two or three sentences.
- Prefer everyday words over jargon, and explain terms you need.
- Use lists, subheadings and bold key phrases to make the page scannable.
