What this means
Reading ease is a published formula, not an opinion. It rises when sentences are short and words are plain, and it falls when either grows. Most web copy reads best in the 60 to 70 range, roughly a confident secondary-school level.
The fastest way to raise the score is to cut long sentences in two. The list above shows the worst offenders first, so you can fix the few that drag the whole page down rather than rewriting everything.
Readable copy is not only kinder to people. Clear, self-contained sentences are easier for a language model to lift into an answer, which is how you get cited in AI search.
