<p>Devlin Accessibility Monitor for WooCommerce helps WooCommerce merchants observe live accessibility barriers while shoppers are actively using the storefront.</p>
<p>The plugin focuses on real-time friction signals instead of persistent analytics. Events are sanitized, streamed into a short-lived live buffer, displayed in the WooCommerce dashboard, and discarded automatically. Settings are stored with standard WordPress options, and the live buffer uses a WordPress transient rather than a custom database table or replay store.</p>
<p>This plugin is built for merchants, accessibility reviewers, QA teams, and WooCommerce builders who need to understand where accessibility friction is interrupting conversion-critical journeys without introducing heavy analytics tooling or long-lived shopper tracking.</p>
<h4>What merchants get</h4>
<ul>
<li>A WooCommerce dashboard that surfaces live accessibility friction as it happens</li>
<li>Merchant-only preview scenarios for demos, QA walkthroughs, and stakeholder reviews</li>
<li>Recommended actions that adapt to the current friction summary</li>
<li>Privacy-first capture with coarse categories only</li>
<li>No custom tables, no Redis requirement, and no third-party telemetry</li>
</ul>
<h4>Good fit for</h4>
<ul>
<li>Stores that want a lightweight live accessibility signal layer inside WooCommerce</li>
<li>Teams that need stakeholder demos before live storefront traffic is available</li>
<li>QA and product teams reviewing cart, checkout, product, and catalog usability</li>
<li>Merchants who want operational visibility without session replay or behavioral surveillance</li>
</ul>
<h4>Signals detected</h4>
<ul>
<li>Dead clicks on non-interactive elements</li>
<li>False interactivity after repeated dead clicks</li>
<li>Missing focus visibility during keyboard navigation</li>
<li>Broken aria relationships</li>
<li>Repeated invalid form interactions and unlabelled fields</li>
<li>Repeated tab loops inside overlays</li>
<li>Keyboard trap risk</li>
<li>Recovery events when a previously detected issue resolves</li>
</ul>
<h4>Privacy-first design</h4>
<ul>
<li>No typed values are stored</li>
<li>No IP addresses are stored</li>
<li>No session recordings are created</li>
<li>No external analytics or tracking libraries are used</li>
<li>No custom database tables are created</li>
<li>No Redis or paid cache service is required</li>
</ul>
<h4>WooCommerce implementation</h4>
<p>The first release targets WooCommerce cart, checkout, product, and catalog experiences. It uses the WooCommerce Settings API, the WordPress REST API, and standard hooks so the plugin remains portable to future platform-specific adapters.</p>
<h4>Merchant preview mode</h4>
<p>Store owners can turn on a merchant-only preview mode from the dashboard to simulate realistic accessibility issues without requiring live storefront traffic. The preview includes walkthrough scenarios for checkout friction, keyboard navigation, catalog browsing, payment failures, and mobile tap audits. The dashboard also surfaces recommended actions that adapt to the current live or synthetic friction signals.</p>
<h4>Operational guardrails</h4>
<ul>
<li>Incoming event payloads are capped at 1 KB</li>
<li>Per-visitor event submission is rate limited</li>
<li>Dashboard and preview controls require merchant capability checks</li>
<li>Live signals expire automatically after the configured buffer window</li>
<li>Published plugin packages do not require Composer on the destination site</li>
</ul>

<p>PromPress tracks various website and WordPress related metrics for collection by <a href="https://prometheus.io/" rel="nofollow ugc">Prometheus</a>, which allows you to monitor your site’s performance and health. You can even setup dashboards with <a href="https://grafana.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Grafana</a> and/or setup alerting via <a href="https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/latest/alertmanager/" rel="nofollow ugc">Prometheus Alertmanager</a>.</p>
<p>(Note: Requires Object Caching via Redis to be active, so that the plugin can store metrics.)</p>
<p>We track a range of Website and WordPress specific metrics:</p>
<ul>
<li>Request Count</li>
<li>Request Duration</li>
<li>Request Peak Memory Usage</li>
<li>External Request Duration</li>
<li>Query Count</li>
<li>Query Duration</li>
<li>Plugin Updates</li>
<li>Theme Updates</li>
<li>Emails Sent</li>
<li>User Count</li>
<li>Post Count</li>
<li>Option Count</li>
</ul>
<p>This gives you the ability to monitor the performance of your website over time and get an early warning of potential problems, like your site sending a lot of emails or the post count increasing a lot.</p>
<p>We purposefully avoid general software and/or server level metrics which are better handled outside of the website, like detailed database metrics which is better handled via the <a href="https://github.com/prometheus/mysqld_exporter" rel="nofollow ugc">mysqld exporter</a>.</p>
