Site Accessibility Score

Source: Accessibility MCP server (mcp_accessibility_test_accessibility).
Scope: This score reflects ONLY the static (Standard) accessibility scan. It does NOT include Keyboard Accessibility findings (focus order, focus visibility, keyboard traps, carousel keyboard operability, etc.). Keyboard issues are reported separately as raw counts by impact.

Per-Page Results

The "A11y Score" column reflects the Standard MCP scan only — it excludes Keyboard Accessibility findings.

Skipped Pages
