Content: Readability very difficult

❓ What does it mean?

❓ What does it mean? Readability refers to how easy it is for users to read, understand, and engage with your website content. If your content is too complex, overly technical, or written in long unstructured paragraphs, users may struggle to read it. SEO tools often use readability scores (like Flesch Reading Ease) to measure this.

Google’s Helpful Content Update πŸ›‘ Google prioritizes content that is clear, user-friendly, and written for humans. Mobile Users Struggle More πŸ“± Walls of text or complex sentences are harder to read on small screens.

βœ… How to Fix It

βœ… Best Practices to Improve Readability Use short sentences and paragraphs (2–3 lines). Use simple vocabulary instead of jargon. Add headings (H2, H3) to break up content.
