Readability

Why it matters

Clear, simple writing keeps visitors reading and makes it easier for search engines and AI tools to extract answers. Readability scores are estimates, best used as a guide.

How to fix it

1. Use short sentences and paragraphs, and everyday words.
2. Break up long text with headings and lists.
3. Explain technical terms the first time you use them.
