How we are Calculating the Accessibility Site Target Score:

The Site Target Score is a percentage that measures accessibility by comparing the number of failed accessibility occurrences to the total occurrences detected on a site. This calculation focuses only on issues relevant to the selected Site Target. For example, if you’ve chosen WCAG 2.1 A and AA as your target, the Site Target Score will include only the accessibility occurrences that fall under those criteria.
