It has a table with a Probability of a confirmation in different Waiting time, 0.5h, 1h, 1.5h, 2h to 24h. With each waiting time and probability, you will be given a fee rate.

Now, example, if wanting 95% of probability to have a confirmation within 0.5h, the given fee rate estimation is 492.7 sat/vbyte. If you want to have 50% of probability of a confirmation, use 403.4 sat/vbyte.

I don't see the website's guide and I don't know the unit of fee rate for estimation but it is sat/vbyte hosseinimr93 helped me to know it. It can be sat/byte or sat/vbyte.

They are in sat/vbyte. Miners prioritize transactions based on the fee paid for each virtual byte of data and that's why the numbers displayed in that table should be in sat/vbyte.
It doesn't make sense to give estimate of the required fee rate in sat/byte at all.
