Site accessibility score

The site accessibility score is measured on a scale from 0-100 and is based on the current page scores across your website.

It starts from the average page score, then adjusts based on how many pages are performing poorly. A page is considered ‘poor’ if its score is below 70. Pages without a score, such as failed scans or pages not yet scored, are excluded from the calculation.

This ensures the site score reflects overall accessibility, not just averages.

If most pages are healthy, the site score stays close to the average page score
If many pages score below 70, the site score drops more sharply
The site score won’t drop below the lowest page score
Strong pages cannot fully offset weaker ones

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.
