Everyone Accessibility Suite – Free WCAG Accessibility Widget & Toolkit

Everyone Accessibility Suite – Free WCAG Accessibility Widget & Toolkit

ཞིབ་བརྗོད།

Everyone Accessibility Suite is a free WordPress accessibility plugin. It adds an accessibility widget and a frontend accessibility panel so visitors can adapt your website to their needs, and it gives you the tools to find and document accessibility problems: a built-in WCAG scanner, a page analyzer, and an accessibility statement generator.

Every feature described below is included at no cost. There is no paid tier, no feature that asks for an upgrade, and no account to create.

Visitors can change typography, contrast, colors, spacing, saturation, cursor size, reading aids, and keyboard navigation settings. Preferences are saved locally in the browser with localStorage, so each visitor keeps their own accessibility setup without registering.

Accessibility Profiles

Five ready-to-use profiles apply a matching set of adjustments in one click:

  • Epilepsy Safe Mode: reduces flashing, blinking, motion, and risky color combinations
  • Visually Impaired Mode: improves readability for users with low vision or other visual impairments
  • Cognitive Disability Mode: helps users focus on essential page content
  • ADHD Friendly Mode: reduces distractions and improves reading focus
  • Blindness Mode: improves compatibility with screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack

Accessibility Tools

The accessibility panel provides 34 individual controls in five groups. Every control can be switched off in the admin so you ship only what your audience needs.

  • Typography (6): content scaling, readable font, dyslexia-friendly font, font size, line height, letter spacing
  • Visual adjustments (8): highlight titles, highlight links, highlight hover, highlight focus, text magnifier, and text alignment left, center, or right
  • Color adjustments (9): dark contrast, light contrast, high contrast, monochrome, high saturation, low saturation, plus color palettes for text, titles, and backgrounds
  • Media control (4): mute sounds, hide images, hide emoji, stop animations
  • Helpful tools (7): reading guide, reading mask, cognitive reading, useful links, large dark cursor, large light cursor, keyboard navigation

The panel also includes an Online Dictionary: a visitor can look a word up without leaving the page, with results pulled from the Wikipedia edition matching the page language.

WCAG Scanner and Analyzer

The plugin checks your pages with axe-core, the same accessibility engine used by browser developer tools, running directly in your browser.

  • A counter in the WordPress admin bar shows how many accessibility issues the page you are looking at contains
  • Every frontend page you open as an administrator is scanned automatically in the background, so the report builds itself as you browse your own site
  • The Accessibility Analyzer screen lists the scanned pages with a score, error and warning counts, and the time of the last scan, with search, filtering, and sorting
  • Opening a page shows its issues grouped by axe rule, with a severity label, the number of occurrences, the affected selector, the WCAG success criterion, and a link to the detailed explanation
  • A dashboard card keeps the home page result in view, and automatic scanning can be turned off with a single toggle

Scanning happens entirely inside your browser. Page content is never sent to an external service, and the results are visible only to users who can manage plugin options.

Accessibility Statement

Publish an accessibility statement without writing it from scratch. Fill in your organization name, contact email, contact phone, standards, and conformance level, and place the statement on any page with the [evas-accessibility-statement] shortcode.

  • A built-in template follows the site language automatically, and you can replace it with your own wording at any time
  • Eight placeholders keep the statement in sync with your settings: organization name, site domain, site URL, contact email, contact phone, standards, conformance level, and the current date
  • A live preview shows the rendered statement while you edit
  • An empty contact field removes its line from the published statement instead of leaving a blank

Modules

Seven modules can be enabled or disabled individually on the Components screen:

  • Usage Analytics: see which accessibility features your visitors actually use, with charts, reports, date filtering, and a configurable retention period
  • Customizer: change the appearance and behavior of the accessibility panel and its floating button, including position, colors, icon, size, and animation
  • Text-to-Speech: read selected text aloud through the Google Cloud Text-to-Speech API, with 60+ languages, voice selection, audio caching, and shortcodes for fine-grained control. Requires a Google Cloud API key
  • Voice Navigation: control the site by voice through the browser Web Speech API, with 21 built-in commands for scrolling, navigation, clicking, zooming, reading the page aloud, and opening the accessibility panel. Requires a browser that supports speech recognition and a site served over HTTPS
  • Virtual Keyboard: an on-screen keyboard with six layouts (QWERTY, QWERTZ, AZERTY, Russian, Spanish, numeric) and adjustable theme, key size, and interaction settings
  • Accessibility Analyzer: the WCAG scanner and per-page issue reports described above
  • Accessibility Statement: the statement editor, template, and shortcode described above

Standards and Compatibility

Everyone Accessibility Suite helps site owners improve accessibility compliance with WCAG 2.1, ADA, Section 508, and EN 301 549 practices. It is designed for modern WordPress themes, page builders, desktop browsers, and mobile devices.

The plugin is useful for blogs, business websites, education websites, government websites, WooCommerce stores, and agencies that need a fast way to provide accessibility tools to visitors.

Privacy

Core accessibility preferences are stored locally in the visitor’s browser. The plugin does not collect, store, or transmit personal data for the core accessibility panel.

WCAG scanning runs in the administrator’s own browser. Page markup is analyzed locally and only the resulting issue list is saved to your own database.

The optional Usage Analytics module can track accessibility feature usage. Visitor IP addresses are never sent to any third party: the visitor country is only recorded when the hosting or CDN layer already provides it as a request header, and it is not recorded at all when strict GDPR mode is enabled.

External Services

This plugin may use external services only when related optional modules are enabled and configured:

  • Google Cloud Text-to-Speech API (https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech) may be used by the Text-to-Speech module to generate audio from selected text. It requires a Google Cloud API key and sends text content, language, and voice preferences to Google Cloud. Terms: https://cloud.google.com/terms/ — Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
  • Wikipedia API (https://www.wikipedia.org/) is queried by the Online Dictionary feature of the accessibility panel when a visitor searches for a word. Only the search term entered by the visitor is sent, to the Wikipedia edition matching the page language. Terms: https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Terms_of_Use — Privacy: https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Privacy_policy
  • Web Speech API is a browser API used by Voice Navigation for speech recognition and commands. Processing happens in the visitor’s browser according to browser support.

Third-Party Libraries

The plugin bundles axe-core 4.13.0 by Deque Systems (https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core), licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. It powers the WCAG scanner, executes in the browser, and makes no network requests of its own.

Privacy Policy

Accessibility preferences chosen by visitors are stored locally in their own browser using localStorage. They are never sent to the server or to any third party.

Data the plugin stores on your site stays on your site: WCAG scan results and, when the Usage Analytics module is enabled, anonymous accessibility feature usage events are written to your own WordPress database and are not transmitted anywhere else. See the Privacy and External Services sections above for the optional services that can be enabled.

FAQ

Is the plugin really free?

Yes. Every feature listed on this page is included, including the WCAG scanner, the page analyzer, and the accessibility statement generator. There is no paid tier and no locked module.

Does this plugin require any other plugins?

No, Everyone Accessibility Suite is a standalone plugin and does not require any dependencies.

Does the WCAG analyzer send my pages anywhere?

No. Scanning uses axe-core running inside your own browser. Your page content is never uploaded, and the resulting issue list is stored in your own WordPress database.

Does the plugin make my site WCAG compliant automatically?

No plugin can do that. Everyone Accessibility Suite gives visitors tools to adapt your site, and it finds and reports issues against WCAG 2.1 so you know what to fix. Real conformance still requires changes in your theme, templates, and content.

How do I publish an accessibility statement?

Open Accessibility > Accessibility Statement, fill in your contact details and conformance level, then add the [evas-accessibility-statement] shortcode to any page. The statement is rendered from a template that follows your site language, and you can replace the text with your own.

Will this work with my theme?

Yes, the plugin is designed to work with any properly coded WordPress theme.

Do the settings persist after page refresh?

Yes, visitor preferences are saved in the browser’s localStorage and persist across sessions.

Is the plugin compatible with caching plugins?

Yes, the plugin works with all major caching plugins.

Can I customize the panel colors?

Yes. Enable the Customizer module to set the background, text, and accent colors of the panel, with separate values for light and dark surroundings, plus the position, icon, size, padding, corner radius, and animation of the floating button.

Does this affect SEO?

No, the plugin only affects the visual presentation for users and does not modify your content or markup.
