<p>ABILITY is a comprehensive accessibility compliance plugin for WordPress that helps you achieve WCAG 2.1 AA compliance quickly and easily.</p>
<p><strong>Features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Static code scanning for accessibility issues</li>
<li>Frontend accessibility widget</li>
<li>WCAG 2.1 AA compliance tracking</li>
<li>Easy-to-use setup wizard</li>
<li>Accessibility statement template</li>
<li>Multiple accessibility controls (high contrast, font size, focus indicators, and more)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Server Requirements & Configuration</h3>
<p>ABILITY follows standard WordPress requirements and should work on any host that supports a normal WordPress installation.</p>
<h4>Minimum technical requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>Web server: Apache (recommended) or Nginx, configured for WordPress pretty permalinks.</li>
<li>PHP: 7.4 or higher, with common extensions enabled (DOM, JSON, cURL or equivalent HTTP transport).</li>
<li>MySQL / MariaDB: As required by your WordPress version.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Apache (default WordPress setup)</h4>
<p>Most shared hosts run Apache with <code>.htaccess</code> support enabled:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ensure <code>AllowOverride</code> is enabled so WordPress can manage <code>.htaccess</code> and pretty permalinks.</li>
<li>Use one of WordPress’s pretty permalink structures under <strong>Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Permalinks</strong>.</li>
<li>No special rewrite rules are required specifically for ABILITY; it uses normal WordPress AJAX and admin-ajax.php.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Nginx</h4>
<p>When running Nginx, ensure your configuration supports WordPress permalinks and admin Ajax:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use the official WordPress Nginx rules (see WordPress.org documentation) to route requests to <code>index.php</code>.</li>
<li>Make sure <code>admin-ajax.php</code> is accessible (no custom blocking rules on <code>/wp-admin/</code> AJAX).</li>
<li>No ABILITY-specific location blocks are required; the plugin uses standard WordPress hooks and endpoints.</li>
</ul>
<p>If in doubt, configure the server to meet the <a href="https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/" rel="ugc">WordPress Hosting Requirements</a> first; ABILITY will work on any environment that satisfies those.</p>

<p><strong>Stop ADA lawsuits before they start. Cirv Guard scans your WordPress site for WCAG 2.1 accessibility violations and tells you exactly what to fix.</strong></p>
<p>Accessibility isn’t optional — the EU Accessibility Act is now in force, ADA lawsuits are up 300%, and 96.3% of websites have detectable WCAG failures. Cirv Guard finds yours.</p>
<h4>Why Accessibility Matters</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Legal protection</strong> – ADA/EAA compliance reduces lawsuit risk</li>
<li><strong>Larger audience</strong> – 1.3 billion people worldwide live with disabilities</li>
<li><strong>Better SEO</strong> – Accessible sites rank higher (Google rewards usability)</li>
<li><strong>Higher conversions</strong> – Usable sites convert better for everyone</li>
<li><strong>Brand reputation</strong> – Demonstrate your commitment to inclusion</li>
</ul>
<h4>Features</h4>
<p><strong>Alt Text Checker (WCAG 1.1.1)</strong><br />
Scans every image on your page for missing or empty alt attributes. Respects decorative images marked with role=”presentation”.</p>
<p><strong>Heading Hierarchy Checker (WCAG 1.3.1)</strong><br />
Detects skipped heading levels (h1 to h3), missing H1 tags, and multiple H1s on a single page.</p>
<p><strong>Color Contrast Checker (WCAG 1.4.3)</strong><br />
Analyzes text/background color pairs against the WCAG 2.1 minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1. Uses the W3C relative luminance formula.</p>
<p><strong>Form Label Checker (WCAG 1.3.1)</strong><br />
Verifies that every form input has an associated label — via <code>for</code> attribute, wrapping <code><label></code>, <code>aria-label</code>, or <code>aria-labelledby</code>.</p>
<p><strong>Link Text Checker (WCAG 2.4.4)</strong><br />
Flags generic link text like “click here” and “read more”. Detects empty links and links with no accessible name.</p>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li><strong>Install & Activate</strong> – One-click from the WordPress plugin directory</li>
<li><strong>Go to Cirv Guard</strong> – New top-level menu item with shield icon</li>

<li><strong>Anyone</strong> who wants to avoid a $75,000+ ADA demand letter</li>
</ul>
