Flesch Reading Ease and SEO
Hard-to-read websites drive visitors away, spiking your bounce rate and tanking your SEO. Aim for a Flesch reading ease score of at least 65—plain English that’s easy to scan—for better rankings. Short sentences and simple words (one or two syllables) are your friends; long, complex ones drag your score down. The Yoast plugin can guide you, refining your writing over time. Google may not directly use this score, but readable content keeps users engaged, boosting your SEO anyway.
