Accessibility Score

ClearSight gives every page and site an accessibility score from 0 to 100.

What the score means

ScoreRatingWhat it means
80–100GoodFew or no significant issues. Site is largely accessible.
50–79Needs WorkModerate issues present. Some users with disabilities will have trouble.
0–49PoorSerious accessibility problems. Significant barriers for users with disabilities.

How it’s calculated

The score penalizes each issue based on its severity:

SeverityPenalty per issue
Critical−10 points
Serious−5 points
Moderate−2 points
Minor−1 point

The score starts at 100 and deductions are applied, floored at 0. Dismissed issues are excluded from scoring.

Site score vs page score

  • Page score — calculated from issues found on that specific page
  • Site score — the average of all page scores in the most recent crawl

AI enrichment and scoring

If AI enrichment fails for a page, ClearSight falls back to a heuristic score based on issue counts alone. These pages are marked completed_partial in the crawl status.
