Traditional methods for selecting web pages for evaluation lack a systematic approach. Web accessibility is crucial to improve equal access and usability for individuals with disabilities. However, current approaches to accessibility evaluation are often time-consuming and resource-intensive. By optimising the accessibility evaluation process, we can more effectively identify and address accessibility issues on the web. This paper addresses the challenge of efficiently evaluating web accessibility across heterogeneous web pages. Drawing inspiration from census studies, we developed a framework to measure population-sourcing methods that leverage modern templated web development processes. This approach allows us to cluster heterogeneous web pages and select representative samples that reflect the entire cluster, streamlining the evaluation process. In this paper, we demonstrate that our clustering method effectively groups web pages with similar accessibility characteristics. Using statistical tooling and incorporating additional features from server log files, we aim to improve the accuracy and efficiency of accessibility audits. Our findings have several implications for web accessibility evaluation: our approach offers amore systematic and objective way of selecting pages for evaluation, reducing the reliance on ad-hoc heuristics. Secondly, by optimising the evaluation process, we envision that organisations can allocate their resources more efficiently, ensuring a broader coverage of web pages while maintaining high accessibility standards. Finally, incorporating server log files as a data source highlights the potential of leveraging existing web analytics data for accessibility assessment, providing additional insights and opportunities for improvement.
