Error Rate per Page Response

total errors/total pages is one way or
total errors/ total pages*100 (Error Rate) limits should be under 1%

I prefer Defects per Million (DPM) DPM should be under 50
Total Error/(total pages * attributes per page)*1,000,000.
Attributes per page is a number predetermined for all calculation. We use a standard 300 attributes per page.

I can standardize this error across all efforts and I classify individual error codes 1-55 to pareto chart which area my defects occur most often.
i.e. typo, grammar, style, formatting etc.
