How to fix

Code snippet for each stack we cover. Pick the one matching your server / framework.

nginx
No server config — content edit.
apache
Same.
cloudflare
Same.
wordpress
Audit each post. Convert excessive bullet lists to short prose paragraphs. Reserve <ul>/<ol> for steps, features, options that are genuinely list-like.
flask
Same.
express
Same.
rails
Same.

Verify it's working

Word count: <ul>/<ol> content vs <p> content. Lists should be <=60% of total.
