Why is Accessibility Score Important?
Many website owners consider accessibility just an add-on feature. In fact, accessibility is the foundation of a healthy web. The score you see above reflects how easily your content is consumed by search engines (SEO) and Assistive Technology.
1. Legal Compliance & Litigation Risk
In Indonesia, Law No. 8 of 2016 requires public service providers to provide accessibility. Globally, WCAG standards are the legal benchmark. Ignoring this means opening up digital discrimination lawsuits.
2. SEO Performance & Google Rankings
Google loves accessible websites. Neat heading structures, alt text, and clear navigation help Google bots index your content. Accessible websites tend to rank better.
3. Unlocking a 1 Billion People Market
According to WHO, there are over 1 billion people with disabilities worldwide (15% of the population). If your site is not accessible, you are unconsciously rejecting 15% of potential customers.
How to Improve Your Score?
If your score is red (below 60), the priority fixes are:(1) Add Alt Text to meaningful images,(2) Ensure Color Contrast ratio is at least 4.5:1, and(3) Check Keyboard Navigation to ensure menus work without a mouse.
Why Manual Audit?
Machines only detect 30% of errors. The rest (UX & Comfort) can only be felt by humans.
