A metric (typically Flesch-Kincaid) measuring how easy content is to read. Web content targeting a general audience should aim for a 7th-8th grade reading level (Flesch score 60-70). Simpler language reduces bounce rates.

Getting it right removes friction, protects your rankings, and makes every other optimization work harder. Auditing it regularly is the fastest way to catch regressions before they cost you traffic or conversions.
