How is the Web Governance accessibility score calculated?
Date Published: May 22, 2026
The compliance score for the accessibility checks is calculated by using 100, a perfect score, minus the number of errors found. This is then divided by the total number of accessibility checks.
For example:
If the compliance for individual accessibility checks is calculated by the:
total number of pages minus pages with issues
for the:
check total number of pages multiplied by 100
It will make no difference if there are 10 or 10.000 issues, the system calculates the number of pages that fail the check as opposed to the total number of pages.
