Understanding Your Accessibility Score
Now that you’ve run your site through AccessibilityChecker.org, it’s time to dive into what your score really means.
- 0–49: Poor Accessibility. Significant barriers are present. The site is largely unusable for people with disabilities and may carry legal risks.
- 50–69: Needs Improvement. Some accessibility features are in place, but notable issues are still present that hinder usability.
- 70–89: Fair Accessibility. Many key problems have been resolved. The site is generally usable, though not yet fully inclusive.
- 90–95: Highly Accessible. The site has passed all automated checks and resolved many common accessibility issues. You’re well on your way, but a manual review is still needed to confirm full compliance.
- 100: Fully Compliant. With all automated, manual, and PDF-related issues resolved, your site meets full WCAG compliance standards.

That’s why your audit results are divided into three categories:
To achieve full compliance, all three areas need to be addressed.
