<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin integrates with the Includia accessibility service, which provides the core accessibility widget functionality.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Service Name and Purpose:</strong> The Includia accessibility widget (loaded from <code>https://cdn.includia.ai/widget.js</code>) enhances your website’s accessibility by providing a suite of tools for users to customize their browsing experience. This service is essential for the plugin’s primary function of making your site more accessible.</li>
<li><strong>Data Sent and When:</strong>
<ul>

Equalize Digital Accessibility Checker – WCAG, ADA, EAA and Section 508 compliance

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... Equalize Digital is the go-to for website accessibility! Thanks for the awesome plugin! 


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!


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.






Making my site more accessible by teaching me how to do it

Another good plugin on WordPress.org


Works well, but double check with a screen reader. Then, use the Ignore feature to clear each page. 


Yes!

Find and fix accessibility issues with confidence. Real-time reports, automated fixes, and guidance. Reduce compliance risk and reach more users.
