What Does a Good Audit Score Look Like?

For Performance, SEO, and Quality, achieving a score above 80 is generally considered good. It indicates that your website is meeting most best practices and providing a fairly solid experience for users.

However, Accessibility is different. It is not a matter of being “good enough”—even partial compliance can create barriers that prevent users with disabilities from accessing your website. That’s why the ideal target for Accessibility is a perfect score of 100, ensuring your site is usable and inclusive for all visitors.

That said, while an 80+ score can serve as a good baseline, we strongly recommend aiming for 90 or above in Performance, SEO, and Quality. Higher scores in these areas mean:

• Performance: Your website loads faster, reduces bounce rates, and provides a smoother user experience.
• SEO: Your site follows search engine best practices, improving discoverability and ranking potential.
• Quality: Your site adheres to modern web standards, reducing errors, broken links, and other issues that may affect usability and trust.

By aiming higher than the minimum, you not only improve your audit scores but also create a faster, more reliable, and more accessible digital experience for every user.
