AvaCore Accessibility is a performance-focused WordPress plugin that automates critical accessibility fixes. It is designed to help websites meet the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and ADA standards without the bloat of traditional AI overlays.
Unlike JavaScript-only overlays, AvaCore provides Native HTML Fixes. We improve the actual structure of your site, making it genuinely accessible to screen readers and keyboard users while maintaining peak performance.
<h4>New in v1.1.0: Virtual Screen Reader Debugger</h4>
Experience your site like your users do. Our “Inspect Mode” provides a live text log of what a screen reader would announce, highlighting silent elements and accessibility warnings in real-time.
<h4>Key Features:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Smart Heading Normalizer: Automatically corrects H1-H6 hierarchy for a logical document structure.</li>
<li>Intelligent Form Label Fixer: Injects aria-labels into inputs, textareas, and selects using placeholders or field names.</li>
<li>Virtual Screen Reader (v1.1): Live debugging tool to “hear” your site’s accessibility status.</li>
<li>Page Builder Semantic Roles: Native support for Elementor and Divi to fix non-semantic containers.</li>
<li>Automated Alt Attributes: Generates meaningful alt text by cleaning filenames and analyzing post context.</li>
<li>Skip-to-Content Links: Essential keyboard navigation support added automatically.</li>

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.
