Understanding results

Compliance Score

Your score represents the percentage of scanned WCAG criteria that pass across all pages. A score of 100 means no violations were detected.

  • 90-100: Excellent — minor issues to address
  • 70-89: Good — several issues need attention
  • 50-69: Fair — significant accessibility barriers exist
  • Below 50: Poor — critical issues require immediate action

Issue list

Each issue includes:

  • Rule: The WCAG 2.1 criterion that was violated
  • Severity: Critical, Serious, Moderate, or Minor
  • Location: The page and element where the issue occurs
  • Description: What the issue is and why it matters
  • Recommendation: How to fix it (or use Pro auto-fix)

Filtering and sorting

Use the dashboard filters to view issues by:

  • Page or post
  • Severity level
  • WCAG criterion
  • Fix status (open, fixed, ignored)
