Dashboard: Understanding the Dashboard page

The Dashboard page provides valuable insights into your site’s accessibility status and progress since the last audit. This helps you optimize planning and prioritize your remediation efforts.

Audit cycle

The audit cycle displays how often audits are run, when the last audit ran, and when the next audit is scheduled.

Site accessibility score

The site accessibility score is calculated based on the percentage of resolved versus open issues and reflects your site’s accessibility status. E or zero is the lowest value and A or 100 is the highest score.

The score is calculated by weighting issues based on their severity. Higher-severity issues have a greater impact on the score compared to lower-severity ones. The score decreases as more issues are identified with the reduction proportional to both the severity and number of issues. Higher-severity issues cause larger reductions. The score increases as issues are resolved, with the improvement proportional to both the severity and number of resolved issues. Resolving higher-severity issues results in more significant score gains.

A score of 100 is achieved when all issues are resolved, all checklist tasks are completed, and all assets have been reviewed.

Issues by severity

Accessibility issues are categorized by severity. Focus on resolving high-severity issues first, as they have the greatest impact on your score. Hover over the bar to see how each severity level affects your score. To achieve the highest score, complete all checklist tasks, review all assets and address all issues.

Recurring issues affect multiple pages on your website. Address them to quickly resolve issues across your site. The banner shows the most impactful issue you can resolve to get you started.
