Why it matters
Bots harvest plain-text addresses for spam. Whether that matters depends on the address: a support inbox with a good filter is often fine.
How to fix it
Use a contact form, or show the address in a way bots read less easily. If the address is meant to be public, you can accept this warning.
After the fix, open the page’s report and choose Run again to confirm it passes.
