Site accessibility score

The site accessibility score is calculated based on the percentage of resolved versus open issues and reflects your site’s accessibility status where zero is the lowest value and 100 is the highest score.

The score is calculated by weighting issues based on their severity. Higher-severity issues have a greater impact on the score compared to lower-severity ones. The score decreases as more issues are identified with the reduction proportional to both the severity and number of issues. Higher-severity issues cause larger reductions. The score increases as issues are resolved, with the improvement proportional to both the severity and number of resolved issues. Resolving higher-severity issues results in more significant score gains.

A score of 100 is achieved when all issues are resolved, all checklist tasks are completed, and all assets have been reviewed.

The graph shows how your site’s accessibility score has changed over time.
