<p>This plugin creates a tag cloud that has, per tag, an indication of that tag’s size, between brackets right after the tag and within the anchor text. This is for the benefit of screenreaders, who will read this information aloud.<br />
This additional text is hidden from screenreaders by an included styling class. I am working on an option to include your own.</p>
<p>I’d like to add some localization options, but I have insufficient PHP knowledge to implement that. If you’d like to help out, please let me know at http://www.automaton.be/contact/</p>

Equalize Digital Accessibility Checker – Audit Your Website for WCAG, ADA, and Section 508 Accessibility Errors

If you care about the people visiting your site, you should install this plugin.

If you care about the sites you develop for clients, you should install this plugin.

If you want a quick and easy way to take your best efforts at creating a site, and turn them into great sites, you should install this plugin.

Want to spot all the ways your "premium" theme is actually not all that great? You got it: install this plugin. Warning: this plugin will make you want to get a refund from your theme shop, and to go to a theme shop that actually cares about *their* product.

There are very few plugins in WordPress that make literally every site they touch better. This is one. 

An absolute must-have.

... this plugin is for you.

This plugin isn't a band-aid overlay that clutters the site, doesn't improve accessibility, and affects performance. 

Rather, Accessibility Checker works in the WP Admin by scanning the site and providing a straightforward, prioritized list of actionable advice on improving accessibility. This is backed by great documentation, support, and community involvement from Equalize Digital.

Our company upgraded to the paid version for CPT support and the other premium features – I can't recommend it highly enough.



If you care about accessibility . . .


This plugin is an absolute LIFESAVER that serves as a second pair of eyes as I build out pages and posts on my website. If you are looking to improve the accessibility of your websites, this plugin is *the* answer. It will not only point out any potential issues, but it does a great job of leading you to resources on how to fix thing in case you get stuck. Not to mention the team behind it...

Livesaver!


I love this plugin. It's been really easy to train my clients to use when they are working with their content. And they have great support!


Love this plugin!

Another good plugin on WordPress.org


One of the things I love about this plugin is that it doesn't fix things for me. It shows me what needs to be fixed, and directs me to information on how to do that. Learning about web accessibility to make me a better web citizen is paramount to being able to create accessible sites for all.
