Accessibility work usually costs you a loop.<\/strong> Copy a URL. Paste it into an off-site scanner. Wait. Hit the free-tier limit. Read a report that tells you what is broken but not what to type. Switch to your editor. Guess at the fix. Go back, paste the URL again, and start over \u2014 for every page, every time the site changes.<\/p>\n\n AccessMate closes that loop inside WordPress.<\/strong> Scan from your dashboard, see every issue ranked by severity, copy an AI-suggested code fix straight into your editor, and re-scan in a click. No tab-switching, no re-pasting URLs, no per-scan credits.<\/p>\n\n AccessMate's visitor toolbar does one honest thing: it lets visitors adjust how your site is displayed \u2014 larger text, higher contrast, a dyslexia-friendly font, reduced motion. It is 15KB, loads deferred, and renders in a Shadow DOM so it cannot touch your theme's styles.<\/p>\n\n What it deliberately does not<\/strong> do is rewrite your markup, inject ARIA it cannot understand, or claim to make your site compliant. No front-end script can do that. Real accessibility comes from fixing the underlying code \u2014 which is exactly what the scanner half of AccessMate is built to help you do, quickly.<\/p>\n\n AccessMate scans with axe-core<\/a>, the same open-source accessibility testing engine used by major browser DevTools. Pick any one of the following from the ruleset selector in the scanner or in Settings:<\/p>\n\n Each feature can be switched on or off in the Widget configurator, along with the accent colour, screen position and button size. The toolbar renders inside a Shadow DOM, so its styles cannot affect your theme, and visitor preferences are remembered in their browser's localStorage.<\/p>\n\n AccessMate makes no external requests unless you configure an AI provider and trigger an AI action. When an AI action is triggered, your WordPress server makes a direct request to your chosen provider using your key. No data passes through AccessMate servers. The API key is encrypted at rest using AES-256-CBC with your WordPress auth salt.<\/p>\n\n The OpenDyslexic font used by the toolbar's dyslexia feature is bundled inside the plugin and served from your own site. No font CDN is contacted.<\/p>\n\n This plugin can connect to the following external services. No external requests are made unless you explicitly configure and trigger the relevant feature.<\/p>\n\n When you add an API key and click an AI action (fix suggestion or plain-English explanation), your WordPress server sends a direct HTTPS request to your chosen AI provider. The request contains the page HTML snippet and accessibility issue context being analysed. No data passes through AccessMate servers. These requests are only sent when you have entered an API key in Settings and manually trigger an AI action.<\/p>\n\n Anthropic<\/strong> \u2014 OpenAI<\/strong> \u2014 Google Gemini<\/strong> \u2014 Ollama<\/strong> \u2014 The admin interface and scan overlay are built from TypeScript and React sources with Vite. The unminified sources are included in this plugin under Yes. Scanning, reporting, the accessibility statement generator and the visitor toolbar are free with no usage limits. The AI features are optional and use your own API key, billed directly by the AI provider \u2014 AccessMate does not resell AI usage or take a cut.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. The scanner, scoring, reports, statement generator and visitor toolbar all work with the AI provider set to None<\/strong>. The API key only unlocks the two AI buttons in the issue detail panel.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Automated scanning identifies a significant subset of issues for the WCAG or Section 508 standard you select, but cannot replace manual testing with real assistive technologies. The plugin's report includes a disclaimer to that effect.<\/p><\/dd>\n Your key is encrypted with AES-256-CBC using your WordPress authentication salt before being stored in AccessMate discovers the public URLs on your site and lists them in Pages & Posts<\/strong>, where you can scan them individually. You can also scan whichever page you are currently viewing with the Scan Page<\/strong> button in the admin bar, or pass a specific URL via the REST API ( Scans are run on demand. AccessMate does register a weekly WP-Cron event that re-checks your home page in the background and updates the \"last checked\" date shown on the Report screen; the per-page results in your dashboard are only updated when you run a scan yourself.<\/p><\/dd>\n The widget bundle is 15.2KB (5.7KB gzipped) and loads with the AccessMate does not modify your theme's output except via the opt-in accessibility toolbar. Its admin interface is confined to its own admin pages, and the scan overlay is only loaded for logged-in users who can manage options.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nWhy developers pick AccessMate<\/h4>\n\n
