It supports accessibility efforts related to **WCAG 2.2**, **ADA**, **AODA**, **EAA**, and **BFSG**. It does not make your website compliant on its own, and no automated tool can guarantee compliance. **Do I get the visitor accessibility toolkit (widget)?** **Yes, free and permanently.** **What else?** The free plugin includes a **WCAG 2.2** scan of up to **five pages**, with identified issues, their location, applicable WCAG criterion, and severity. **Website accessibility is not a one-time task.** Your website keeps changing. Developers update code, editors publish content, marketers add pages, and website owners launch new products and features. When your website changes, its accessibility can change too. We built Accesstive to help teams continuously manage website accessibility, not just install an accessibility tool and forget about it. Accesstive helps you **find** accessibility issues, **fix** them, **monitor** accessibility changes, and **document** your ongoing accessibility efforts while supporting requirements related to **WCAG 2.2**, **ADA**, **EAA**, **BFSG**, and **Section 508**. #### Find Accessibility Issues Scan your website to find accessibility issues and understand what needs attention. The **WCAG 2.2** accessibility checker checks areas including: * Heading structure * Form labels * Link purpose * ARIA usage * Keyboard accessibility * Focus visibility * Color contrast * Image alternatives * Media * Page structure * Other WCAG-related accessibility issues Review identified issues with their location, applicable WCAG criterion, and severity so your team can understand what needs to be addressed. #### Fix Accessibility Issues Finding an issue is only the beginning. Accesstive helps your team work through accessibility remediation with: * **AI-powered remediation guidance** * **Actionable recommendations** for accessibility issues * **Remediation tracking** * **Dated history** of accessibility work * **Human accessibility specialist** review and remediation support This allows developers, editors, marketers, website owners, agencies, and other teams involved in your website to participate in accessibility work. #### Monitor Accessibility as Your Website Changes Your website does not stay the same. Accesstive helps you continuously monitor accessibility so changes to content, design, code, products, pages, and other website elements can be reviewed for new or recurring accessibility issues. Automatic rescans and sitewide monitoring are available through the Accesstive dashboard. #### Prove Your Accessibility Efforts Accessibility work needs to be documented. Accesstive helps you keep a record of what was found, what was addressed, and how your accessibility work progresses over time. Use Accesstive for: * **Accessibility reports** * **Accessibility statements** * **Remediation history** * **Accessibility documentation** * **VPAT documentation support** * **Litigation support** The goal is not simply to find accessibility issues. It is to help your team document the accessibility work you have done. #### Accessibility Toolkit Accesstive includes a free visitor accessibility toolkit that gives users additional controls to personalize their browsing experience. Features include: * Font size adjustment * Contrast modes * Spacing and line height * Reading guide * Readable and dyslexia-friendly fonts * Animation controls * Large cursor * Keyboard shortcuts * Accessibility profiles * Other accessibility preferences The toolkit is **free permanently** and can be added automatically or placed manually on your website. The toolkit is one part of Accesstive. It does not replace accessibility testing, remediation, monitoring, or documentation. #### Support for WCAG, ADA, AODA, EAA & BFSG Accesstive supports accessibility efforts related to: * **WCAG 2.2** * **ADA** * **AODA** * **European Accessibility Act (EAA)** * **Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG)** Requirements can vary depending on your organization, website, location, and applicable regulations.

It does not guarantee legal compliance. ### Is Accesstive an overlay? **No.** Accesstive’s accessibility checker analyzes your website to identify accessibility issues. The visitor toolkit is a separate feature that gives visitors additional accessibility controls. ### Is the accessibility toolkit really free? **Yes.** The visitor accessibility toolkit is free permanently. ### Do I need an account? **Yes.** A free Accesstive account is required to activate the toolkit and access scanning. ### Why does the free scan cover five pages? The free plugin gives you a five-page WCAG 2.2 scan so you can see real accessibility issues on your website. Sitewide scanning and ongoing monitoring are available through the Accesstive dashboard. ### Does the scan update automatically? The free plugin does not automatically rescan your website. Automatic rescans and continuous monitoring are available through the Accesstive dashboard. ### Will Accesstive slow down my website? **No.** The visitor toolkit loads asynchronously. Accessibility scanning is processed through the Accesstive service. ### Can Accesstive identify every accessibility issue? No automated accessibility tool can identify every possible accessibility barrier. Some issues require human judgment and manual review, including whether content has meaningful alternative text, whether reading order makes sense, and whether a real user can successfully complete a task. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Web Accessibility Compliance Management by Accesstive: WCAG, ADA, EAA & BFSG Support” is open source software.
