What Your Accessibility Score Means

Now that you’ve assessed your website with AccessibilityChecker.org, it’s time to interpret your results and understand where your site stands.

  • 0–49: Poor Accessibility. Major barriers exist. The site is largely inaccessible to users with disabilities and may put you at risk of non-compliance.
  • 50–69: Needs Improvement. Some accessibility measures are in place, but critical usability issues persist.
  • 70–89: Fair Accessibility. Many accessibility gaps have been addressed. The site is functional but not yet fully inclusive.
  • 90–95: Highly Accessible. Your site has successfully passed automated testing and resolved many typical issues. You’re on the right path, but some manual reviews are still needed to ensure compliance.
  • 100: Fully Compliant. Once all automated checks, manual evaluations, and PDF-related issues have been resolved, your website will meet the full requirements of WCAG.

Getting to 100

One of the most common questions we hear is: why can’t automation alone guarantee a perfect score?

The simple truth is that not all accessibility issues can be identified by software. While our platform detects a wide range of problems, some WCAG guidelines rely on human judgment, especially when it comes to visual or contextual interpretation.

That’s why your audit report is broken into three key sections:

  • Automated Tests (static content and interactive components)

  • Manual Checks Required

  • PDF Accessibility

To be fully compliant, you’ll need to address all three areas.
