Accessibility Tool Kit: WP Accessibility checker plugin for WCAG, Section 508, ADA, EAA Compliance

75 Quality Score

Active Installs

14/30

With only 1,000 active installs, this is a niche plugin that has not gained mainstream traction despite a high score on this dimension.

Update Freshness

25/25

Last updated May 2026 and explicitly tested against WordPress 7.0, the plugin shows active and forward-compatible maintenance.

User Rating

14/15

A 96 out of 100 from 5 reviewers is excellent, though the very small sample size means the rating is an early signal rather than proven consensus.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened and zero resolved gives no track record to evaluate, so the 50 score reflects unverified support rather than demonstrated responsiveness.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Requires PHP 5.6 and WordPress 5.0 as a minimum and is tested up to WordPress 7.0, which is unusually broad and earns a perfect score.

What It Does

Accessibility Plus scans your WordPress site for common WCAG, ADA, EAA, and Section 508 issues and offers tools to remediate them from the dashboard. It runs automated accessibility checks on your content and helps fix problems like missing alt text, low contrast, and improper heading structure. The plugin also covers a range of compliance frameworks, making it a single dashboard for accessibility audits.

Who It's For

This plugin is aimed at site owners in regulated or accessibility-sensitive industries such as law firms, healthcare providers, universities, government agencies, and financial services companies. It suits teams that need a starting point for WCAG and ADA compliance without hiring a dedicated auditor. Smaller publishers and nonprofits that want a baseline automated scan will also benefit.

Who Should Skip It

If your site already passes manual WCAG 2.1 AA audits or you use an enterprise-grade accessibility platform like AudioEye or accessiBe, this plugin adds little value. Developers who prefer building custom remediation into their theme should also skip it, since the auto-fix tools are limited compared to a trained accessibility specialist.

The Bottom Line

Accessibility Plus delivers strong maintenance, solid ratings, and broad framework coverage, but its tiny install base and zero support history make it a calculated bet. The overall quality score of 75.33 out of 100 is decent but trails established alternatives. Consider it if you want a modern, actively updated checker and are willing to validate fixes yourself; otherwise, WP Accessibility or Auto Image Attributes are safer picks.

Pick this if your main accessibility gap is missing alt text on existing images and you want a focused, proven tool with 100,000 installs.

WP Accessibility 83/100

Choose this if you want a long-established accessibility plugin with 60,000 installs and a stronger support history.

Accessibility Widget by OneTap 83/100

Pick this if you want a front-end accessibility toolbar for visitors rather than a backend scanning and fixing workflow.

Alt Text AI 81/100

Choose this if your priority is AI-generated alt text for images at scale rather than full WCAG scanning.

My Calendar 80/100

Pick this if you run an events-heavy site and need an accessible calendar component rather than general page accessibility.
