AccessKit adds a floating accessibility toolbar to your WordPress site that lets visitors adapt the page to their needs — bigger text, dyslexia-friendly fonts, high contrast, link highlighting, screen reading, and more.
Unlike popular paid alternatives that load scripts from external servers and charge per site, this plugin runs entirely on your own hosting. Nothing phones home, nothing tracks your users, no annual subscription.
<h4>13 built-in accessibility features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Bigger Text / Smaller Text — five-step font scaling</li>
<li>Text Spacing — wider letter and word spacing</li>
<li>Line Height — increased line spacing for easier reading</li>
<li>Dyslexia Friendly — switches fonts to a dyslexia-friendly stack</li>
<li>ADHD Mode — focus reading strip that follows the cursor</li>
<li>Saturation — two levels of reduced colour intensity</li>
<li>Invert Colors — full page colour inversion</li>
<li>Highlight Links — yellow background on every link</li>
<li>Text To Speech — reads page text aloud (uses browser Web Speech API)</li>
<li>Cursor — enlarged cursor for low-vision users</li>
<li>Pause Animation — stops CSS animations and video</li>
<li>Hide Images — visually hides images while keeping layout</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why this plugin</h4>
<ul>
<li>Truly free, no upsells. Every feature is in the free version. No locked premium tier.</li>
<li>No third-party scripts. Everything runs from your own server. Audit-friendly.</li>
<li>Privacy-respecting. No tracking, no analytics, no cookies, no external requests.</li>
<li>Lightweight. Under 30 KB total. Loads asynchronously, won’t impact Core Web Vitals.</li>
<li>Brand-customisable. WordPress colour pickers for the launcher, panel, and reset button.</li>
<li>Compliance-friendly. Helps with WCAG 2.1 AA, ADA, EAA, Section 508, and GIGW user-adaptation requirements.</li>
<li>Translation-ready. Fully internationalised. POT file included.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How visitors use it</h4>
A floating launcher pill sits in the bottom-left (or bottom-right) of every page. Clicking it opens a panel with the 13 feature cards. Visitor preferences are saved in their browser’s localStorage so settings persist across pages and visits.
The panel can also be opened with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F2.
<h4>Customisation options</h4>
<ul>
<li>Appearance tab — brand colour, panel background, reset button colour, position, launcher title text</li>
<li>Features tab — enable or disable any of the 13 feature cards individually</li>
<li>Advanced tab — exclude on specific pages by ID or slug, append custom CSS overrides</li>
</ul>
<h4>What this plugin does NOT do</h4>
This is an accessibility adaptation widget, not an automated WCAG audit. It helps visitors customise how your site looks and behaves, but does not fix underlying semantic HTML issues. For full WCAG conformance you also need proper headings, alt text, ARIA labels, focus indicators, and keyboard navigation in your theme. Run a tool like axe DevTools or WAVE to identify those issues separately.
