WelcomingWeb is a hosted (SaaS) accessibility widget. This plugin is the official WordPress connector that injects the WelcomingWeb widget onto your site without editing theme files.
Account required: You need a WelcomingWeb account (a free plan/widget may be available) and a Widget ID to use this plugin. Without a Widget ID, the plugin does not load anything on the frontend.
After activation, go to: 
Settings → WelcomingWeb
Features: 
* Enable/disable the widget at any time 
* Paste your Widget ID (UUID) 
* Choose embed mode: 
 – Script + data-widget-id attribute 
 – Script with ?wid= query parameter (GTM-style) 
* Choose load location: 
 – Head 
 – Footer
The widget script is loaded only on the frontend and only when: 
1) the plugin is enabled, and 
2) a valid Widget ID is provided.
<h4>Service Notice (External Dependencies)</h4>
This plugin is a connector for the WelcomingWeb service and loads a remote JavaScript file to render the widget. See “External Services” below for details.
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to external services operated by WelcomingWeb in order to provide the accessibility widget.
When enabled (and when a valid Widget ID is set), the plugin loads the WelcomingWeb widget script from: 
* https://cdn-01.welcomingweb.com/a11y-widget.bundle.js 
 – In “query” mode, the same script URL is used with <code>?wid=YOUR_WIDGET_ID</code> 
 – In “data” mode, the script is loaded and the Widget ID is passed via the <code>data-widget-id</code> attribute
The loaded widget script may also communicate with WelcomingWeb APIs to: 
* Fetch widget configuration associated with your Widget ID 
* Provide widget functionality on the frontend 
* Store and retrieve accessibility preferences (for example, selected profiles/features)
API endpoint(s) used by the service: 
* https://api.welcomingweb.com/api/*
Third-party font service: 
When a visitor activates the dyslexia-friendly font option, the widget script loads the “Open-Dyslexic” font stylesheet from a third-party CDN (Fonts CDN, not operated by WelcomingWeb): 
* https://fonts.cdnfonts.com/css/open-dyslexic 
This request is made by the visitor’s browser only when that accessibility option is selected.
Data that may be processed by the WelcomingWeb service includes: 
* Technical data (e.g., IP address, browser/user agent, device information) 
* Usage data (e.g., interactions with the widget) 
* Accessibility preferences (e.g., selected profiles/features)
The plugin itself does not send analytics and does not transmit administrator personal data to WelcomingWeb; it only injects the widget and passes your Widget ID to the widget script when enabled.

Accessibility by UserWay

There is no such thing as a quick fix (one button click) for accessibility. This widget may be, at best, work like a small band aid. 

An accessible website needs amongst other things, semantic HTML5, good keyboard accessibility, meaningful (handwritten) alt texts for images and good screen reader feedback. This widget cannot provide that.

The claim: “WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance is Within Reach” is a very bold one.

Design and build a website from the start with accessibility in mind.
The WordPress Accessibility Handbook is a good starting point.

Note to the developer:
The button to activate the widget doesn’t get keyboard focus. So can’t be activated by keyboard users.
