Top 50 Most Popular Websites Ranked by Accessibility Score
By Accessalyze · May 1, 2026 · Based on 272 automated WCAG scans from our public database
We ran automated WCAG 2.1 accessibility scans on 272 websites — government portals, Fortune 500 companies, major news outlets, and popular apps. Then we picked the 50 most recognizable names and ranked them from worst to best.
Five major sites scored 0 out of 100: TikTok, Macy's, Lowe's, ABC News, and WebMD. Meanwhile, Google, Netflix, Spotify, and Wells Fargo scored a perfect 100. The gap between the best and worst is total.

Where does your site rank?
Run a free WCAG scan on your website and get an instant accessibility score — no sign-up required.
A score of 0 doesn't mean a site has a few minor issues. It means the automated scanner found multiple critical or serious WCAG violations with zero passing checks to offset them. Here's who made the list:
#1
TikTok
www.tiktok.com · Social Media
0
CRITICAL FAIL
Top violation: ARIA role attribute not supported
💡 One of the most visited sites on Earth — 1 billion+ monthly users — scores a perfect zero.
#2
Macy's
www.macys.com · Retail/Fashion
0
CRITICAL FAIL
Top violation: aria-hidden elements are focusable
💡 A Fortune 500 retailer with $5B+ in annual sales couldn't pass a single accessibility check.
#3
Lowe's
www.lowes.com · Home Improvement
0
CRITICAL FAIL
Top violation: ARIA buttons/links missing accessible names
💡 Lowe's spends hundreds of millions on marketing. Zero on accessible ARIA labels.
#4

💡 ABC News informs millions of Americans daily — including the 26% who use assistive technology.
#5
WebMD

Top violation: ARIA role attribute not supported
💡 People with disabilities look up medical information too. WebMD scored 0/100.
The Surprising "65 Cluster"
Sixteen major websites scored exactly 65 out of 100. This wasn't a coincidence — it reflects a common pattern where teams fix the most glaring issues (critical/serious violations) but stop short of fixing moderate ones like missing alt text on images.
Sites that scored 65: Fox News, Walmart, New York Times, Microsoft, NBC News, Washington Post, Target, Bank of America, and 8 others. All in the same mediocre tier. All with the same most-common violation: images missing alt text.
The 65 cluster is the "we've heard of accessibility" score — you've done enough to avoid getting flagged in a legal complaint, but not enough to actually serve users with disabilities.

<h2>What the Scores Actually Mean</h2>
<p>Our accessibility score is calculated by running a site's homepage through an automated WCAG 2.1 checker (built on axe-core) and weighting the results by violation severity:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Critical violations</strong> (e.g. ARIA role errors) are weighted most heavily — a few can tank a score to 0.</li>
<li><strong>Serious violations</strong> (e.g. missing button labels, focusable hidden elements) are weighted heavily.</li>
<li><strong>Moderate violations</strong> (e.g. missing alt text, low contrast) have medium weight.</li>
<li><strong>Minor violations</strong> have low weight but still matter for screen reader users.</li>
</ul>
<p>A score of 100 means zero violations detected. A score of 0 means multiple critical or serious violations with no passes to offset them. The 65 cluster represents sites with no critical/serious issues but persistent moderate ones.</p>
<p><strong>Important caveat:</strong> These are automated scans of a single page (typically the homepage). Manual audits — which test real user flows, dynamic content, and keyboard navigation — often find additional issues. Our score is a floor, not a ceiling.</p>
<div class="method-box">
<h3>Methodology</h3>
<p>All 272 sites in our public database were scanned between April–May 2026 using our WCAG 2.1 Level AA automated checker. We selected the 50 most recognizable brands from the full dataset for this ranking. Scans test homepages and apply axe-core rules for critical, serious, moderate, and minor violations. Scores are computed using a weighted penalty model.</p>
<p>The full public dataset of 272 audits is available at <a href="https://accessalyze.com/scorecard">accessalyze.com/scorecard</a>.</p>
</div>
<h2>The Bottom Line</h2>
<p>If your website is in the same tier as TikTok (0), you're not just failing screen reader users — you're exposed to ADA Title III lawsuits, which topped 4,600 federal filings in 2025. If you're in the 65 cluster, you're one image audit away from meaningful progress. If you're Netflix or Google, you're setting the standard.</p>
<p>The question isn't whether accessibility matters. It's whether your site's score reflects your brand's values.</p>
