The Problem

Sound familiar?

Accessibility isn't optional—it's essential. But most solutions are expensive, complex, or just cosmetic.

The pain: You know accessibility matters, but don't know where to start
The fix: One-click activation with sensible defaults—no technical expertise required.

The pain: Accessibility overlays cost hundreds per year and don't actually fix issues
The fix: Completely free, forever. Plus it fixes real WCAG issues, not just surface-level tweaks.

The pain: Your site excludes 15% of potential visitors with disabilities
The fix: User-controlled toolbar lets visitors customize their experience instantly.

The pain: You're worried about legal compliance but can't afford consultants
The fix: Built-in scanner identifies real issues with actionable fixes. Export compliance reports.

Features

Real accessibility, not just a badge

Unlike overlay widgets that just add UI on top, Free WCAG actually fixes accessibility issues and gives users genuine control over their experience.

  • Text resizing up to 200%
  • Dyslexia-friendly & readable fonts
  • Reading guide, mask, and large cursor

Automatic Remediation

The plugin automatically fixes common accessibility issues without any manual intervention—activate and forget.

  • Focus ring enforcement (WCAG 2.4.7)
  • Target size compliance (WCAG 2.5.8)

FAQ

Common questions

Will this plugin make my site fully WCAG compliant?
This plugin addresses many WCAG 2.2 Level AA criteria, but full compliance also depends on your theme, content, and other plugins. Use it as part of a comprehensive accessibility strategy—the scanner will show you what else needs attention.

Does the toolbar slow down my site?
No. Assets are conditionally loaded—only when features are enabled. CSS and JavaScript are minimal and optimized. Most sites see zero impact on page speed scores.

Is this really free? What's the catch?
Completely free, forever. It's GPL-licensed open source software with the full source code available on GitHub. No premium tier, no paid features, no data harvesting. We built it because accessibility should be available to everyone. You can even fork it and contribute improvements.

Does it work with page builders like Elementor?
Yes. The plugin works at the WordPress level and is compatible with Elementor, Beaver Builder, Divi, Gutenberg, and other popular builders.

Will users' accessibility preferences persist?
Yes. Preferences are stored in the browser's localStorage, so they persist across sessions and page visits—without any cookies or server-side storage.

Can I customize the toolbar appearance?
Yes. You can choose the toolbar position (left, right, or bottom) and theme (auto, light, or dark) from the admin settings. The toolbar adapts to your site's design.
