Images without alt text are a problem for accessibility (screen readers) and SEO. 
This lightweight plugin automatically adds alt attributes where they are missing:
<ul>
<li>Inside post content → uses the current post title. </li>
<li>For images loaded via <code>wp_get_attachment_image()</code> → uses the image filename (without extension). </li>
</ul>
If an image already has alt text, the plugin leaves it untouched.
No settings, no configuration — just activate and your site is more accessible.
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Improves accessibility by ensuring images have alt text. </li>
<li>Helps SEO by filling in descriptive alt attributes. </li>
<li>Post/page content images get the post title. </li>
<li>Template images (e.g. theme calls) get the filename. </li>
<li>Super lightweight and fast.</li>
</ul>

WCAG Admin Accessibility Tools provides a dual approach to accessibility improvements in WordPress: practical diagnostic tools for admins and editors, and optional front-end visual enhancements for users.
This plugin is designed to complement the WAVE browser extension by WebAIM by offering tools that WAVE doesn’t cover or that we wanted to improve on. For a more complete accessibility review, using both is recommended.
Features: 
– Accessibility Admin Bar Tools: Adds a front-end admin bar menu with auto-check and toggleable visual checks for accessibility issues: 
 – Missing Alt Text 
 – Poor Color Contrast (AA/AAA) 
 – Vague Link Text (e.g. “click here”) 
 – Improper Heading Hierarchy (e.g. skipping from H2 to H4) 
 – Links Missing Underlines (excluding buttons and navs) 
– Skip to Content Link: Inserts a visually hidden “Skip to main content” link at the top of each page for improved keyboard navigation. 
– Alt Text Column & Inline Editing: Adds an “Alt Text” column to the Media Library list view, including an edit option for quickly updating missing or incorrect image alt text. 
– Additional Media Columns: Adds columns for image dimensions, MIME type (e.g. <code>image/png</code>, <code>application/zip</code>), and file size. 
– Frontend Mode Switcher: Adds an accessibility mode switcher for Dark Mode, and Greyscale, optionally placed as: 
 – A floating toggle 
 – A navigation menu item 
 – A shortcode (<code>[wcagaat_modes]</code>) 
– Logo Swap in Dark Mode: Optionally swap logos when dark mode is enabled. 
– Custom Visibility Rules: Choose who can see the frontend mode switcher — everyone, logged-in users, or just admins. 
– Custom Vague Phrases: Configure your own list of vague link texts to scan for (e.g. “read more, learn more, click here”).
WCAG Admin Accessibility Tools gives you clear, actionable insights directly in the WordPress UI to improve accessibility compliance faster.
