CONTENT_READING_LEVEL

Text reads at a high grade level

No automatic fix — this needs a manual change on your site

What this check looks at

Whether the main text of a long English page reads above Flesch-Kincaid grade 14, estimated from sentence length and syllable counts. The estimate is heuristic and can be off by one or two grades.

Why AI answer engines care

Plainer text is easier for both readers and AI engines to summarise and quote correctly. Very dense prose is more likely to be paraphrased badly or skipped.

Does Synviber fix it for me?

Not currently — this one needs a manual change on your own site or infrastructure; Synviber can detect it but does not publish an automatic fix for it today.

How to fix it manually

Low severity

Scanner message: "The text reads at about grade 15.2 (heuristic, +/-2 grades), which is hard for a general audience."

Use shorter sentences and plainer words; aim for grade 8-12 for general audiences.
