What score should I aim for?
For most web pages, 60 or above is a good target: plain enough for a wide audience. Technical or legal text often scores lower, which is fine if your readers expect it. It just shouldn't be harder than it needs to be.
How is the score worked out?
From how long your sentences are and how many syllables your words have. Each language has its own version of the formula. Syllables are counted by rule, not from a dictionary, so a few words will be off by one, which evens out over a few paragraphs.
Does readability help in search?
It isn't a ranking factor in itself. But people stay longer on pages they can follow, and AI tools tend to quote passages that make one clear point. Short, plain sentences help with both.
