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: Highly Accessible. The site has passed all automated checks and resolved many common accessibility issues. You’re well on your way, but a manual and interactive element reviews are still needed to confirm full compliance.
• 100: Fully Compliant. With all automated, interactive, and manual issues resolved, your site meets full WCAG compliance standards.

Achieving a Perfect Score

A question we often get is: why isn’t it possible to achieve a perfect score through automation alone?

The answer is straightforward: some accessibility issues simply can’t be detected by automated tools. While our system catches many problems, certain WCAG criteria require human engagement and judgment to evaluate properly.

That’s why your audit results are divided into three categories:

• Automated Tests (For static pages)

• Interactive Elements (If applicable)

• Manual Review Required

To achieve full compliance, all three areas need to be addressed.
