Please give us a description of what happened.

When using Divi Theme, Yoast is giving incorrect error "The copy scores 57.2 in the Flesch Reading Ease test, which is considered fairly difficult to read. Try to make shorter sentences to improve readability."

The user's sentence length is < 20 words across the page.

Please describe what you expected to happen and why.

Flesch Reading Ease score should be higher as the only suggestion is "Try to make shorter sentences to improve readability.".

The same score is applied when I'm not using Divi. The feedback we provide in the analysis might not be the best and could be improved. I've created an issue for that in the YoastSEO.js repository here: https://github.com/Yoast/YoastSEO.js/issues/1561
