No API keys. No subscriptions. No third-party services for core features. 🔬 [Live Demo](https://accessiq.thereadscope.com/) | 📖 [Documentation](https://accessiq.thereadscope.com/) | 💬 [Support Forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/accessiq/) #### Why WordPress Sites Need an Accessibility Scanner **ADA and EAA lawsuits are rising.** Any publicly accessible website can be targeted— and « we didn’t know » is not a legal defense. WCAG 2.1 compliance is increasingly required by law across the US, EU, and UK. **Inaccessible sites lose real users.** 1 in 4 adults has a disability that affects how they use the web. An inaccessible checkout button or unlabeled form field directly costs you conversions. **Most tools only tell you there’s a problem.** AccessIQ shows you exactly which element failed, why it failed, and what to fix. #### What You Get — 100% Free **♿ WCAG 2.1 Accessibility Scanner** Run unlimited scans on any page or post URL. Get a 0–100 compliance score, severity-ranked violations with element selectors, full scan history, and one-click rescans. Supports Level A, AA, and AAA. **🔥 Self-Hosted Click Heatmap Engine** See exactly where your visitors click, overlaid on your live site inside a macOS-style browser frame. All click data stays in your own database — no Hotjar, no external service required. **📈 Behavior Analytics** Track sessions, bounce rates, average time on page, and device splits. Animated Chart.js dashboards that rival tools costing $50/month — built right into WordPress. **🔡 Frontend Accessibility Widget** A floating toolbar visitors can use to adjust font size, enable high contrast, apply a dyslexia-friendly font, and improve keyboard navigation — without a page reload. **📊 Score History Chart** Track how your accessibility score changes over time for any scanned URL. See compliance progress at a glance. **📅 Scheduled Scanning** Set weekly or monthly automatic scans across all published pages with email alerts when results are ready. #### Who Uses AccessIQ **Developers & Agencies** — Audit client sites before launch. Deliver professional WCAG compliance reports that build trust and justify ongoing maintenance retainers. **Business Owners** — ADA and EAA lawsuits are rising fast. AccessIQ keeps you compliant and documents your remediation efforts — which matters in court. **E-commerce Stores** — Heatmaps reveal exactly which product page elements get clicked and which get ignored. Fix what matters for conversions. **Bloggers & Content Creators** — Understand where readers engage without handing your data to Google Analytics. **UX Designers** — Validate design decisions with real click data. Measure the impact of layout changes with before/after score tracking. **SEO Professionals** — Google uses accessibility signals as ranking factors. Accessible, well-structured content with proper headings and alt text ranks better. AccessIQ catches both. #### 🔬 WCAG Scanner — Full Feature List * **Compliance Score (0–100):** Animated score ring with grade label (Excellent/ Good / Fair / Poor) * **WCAG 2.1 Level A, AA, AAA:** Choose your target compliance level per scan * **Violations by Category:** Visual bar chart — Images, Contrast, Headings, ARIA, Forms * **Severity Labels:** Critical / Serious / Moderate issue classification * **Element Selector:** The exact HTML element that caused the violation * **Fix Suggestions:** Actionable guidance for each violation type * **Scan History:** Full history with date, score, issue count, and WCAG level per URL * **Score History Chart:** Line chart showing compliance progress over time * **One-click Rescan:** Re-run any scan instantly from the reports page * **Print Reports:** Print scan reports directly from the browser * **Unlimited Scans:** No limits, no paywalls, no scan credits * **Single Report View:** Detailed breakdown with back navigation and print option * **Perfect Score Celebration:** Special screen when a page scores 100/100 #### 🔥 Heatmap Engine — Full Feature List * **Live Click Heatmap:** Intensity overlay on your live site — see hot and cold spots instantly * **In-Dashboard Preview:** View heatmaps inside WP Admin — no external app needed * **macOS-style Browser Chrome:** Professional browser frame with URL bar and LIVE PREVIEW badge * **Top Clicked Elements:** Ranked table with element selector, click count, and% of total * **Gold / Silver / Bronze Rankings:** Visual rank indicators for top 3 elements * **Date Range Filter:** 7 days / 30 days / 90 days * **Device Filter:** All Devices / Desktop / Mobile / Tablet * **Page Dropdown:** Select any tracked page from the dropdown * **Peak Activity Hour:** Discover when your visitors are most active * **Self-Hosted:** 100% — all click data lives in your WordPress database * **Lightweight Tracker:** Under 3KB, loads asynchronously, zero impact on Core Web Vitals #### 📈 Behavior Analytics — Full Feature List * **Session Tracking:** Total sessions, average time on page, bounce rate * **Daily Sessions Chart:** Chart.js line chart with gradient fill and hover tooltips * **Device Breakdown:** Animated donut chart — Desktop / Mobile / Tablet split * **Top Pages Performance:** Sessions, avg time, bounce rate, and top device per page * **Date Range Filter:** 7 / 30 / 90 day periods * **Bounce Rate Alerts:** Color-coded — red (high), amber (medium), green (low) * **Privacy-First:** No cookies, no third-party scripts, no Google Analytics dependency #### ♿ Accessibility Widget — Full Feature List * **Floating Toolbar:** Frontend widget for visitors with accessibility needs * **Font Size Control:** Adjust text from 80% to 150% * **High Contrast Mode:** One-click high-contrast color scheme * **Dyslexia-Friendly Font:** Apply Lexend for easier reading * **Keyboard Navigation:** Highlight keyboard focus indicators * **Screen Reader Optimize:** Optimize page structure for screen readers * **Widget Position:** Top Left / Top Right / Bottom Left / Bottom Right * **Brand Color:** Match widget color to your brand (9 color options) * **Mobile Control:** Show or hide widget on mobile devices #### AccessIQ Pro The free plugin is fully featured for most sites. **AccessIQ Pro** adds agency-grade tools: * **PDF Compliance Reports** — Generate branded WCAG compliance reports in PDF format.

No scan results, click events, or session data are sent to external servers. The WCAG scanner runs client-side in your browser — it loads your page locally and sends results via AJAX to your own database. Nothing leaves your server. The plugin loads fonts from Google Fonts (DM Sans, DM Mono for admin; Lexend for the frontend widget). See the External Services section for details. #### 🚀 AccessIQ Pro Need more power? **[AccessIQ Pro](https://accessiq.thereadscope.com/)** takes accessibility to the next level: * **AI Alt Text Generator** — Automatically generate descriptive alt text for images using AI (supports 5 providers: OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and more) * **PDF Compliance Reports** — Export professional, branded PDF reports to share with clients or stakeholders * **White-label Widget** — Customize the accessibility widget with your agency’s branding and colors * **Priority Support** — Direct email support with fast response times 👉 [Upgrade to AccessIQ Pro ](https://accessiq.thereadscope.com/) ### External Services This plugin does not send scan, click, or session data to external servers. All data is stored in your WordPress database. #### Google Fonts AccessIQ loads typefaces from **Google Fonts** (fonts.googleapis.com): 1. **Admin screens** — DM Sans and DM Mono load on AccessIQ admin pages. 2. **Frontend widget** — Lexend loads on public pages when the accessibility toolbar is enabled. When fonts are requested, the visitor’s browser sends a standard HTTP request to Google servers, which may include the visitor’s IP address, browser user-agent, and referring page URL. * Provider: Google LLC * Terms: https://policies.google.com/terms * Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy ### Privacy Policy AccessIQ stores the following data in your WordPress database only: **Click Events (Heatmap):** X/Y coordinates, CSS element selector, page URL, timestamp, device type. **Sessions (Behavior Analytics):** Page URL, session duration, device type, timestamp, bounce status. **Scan Results:** Page URL, WCAG violations, compliance score, scan timestamp, WCAG level. **What we do NOT collect:** IP addresses, usernames, email addresses, cookies, or any personally identifiable information (PII). No data is sent to third-party servers. The WordPress admin loads fonts from Google Fonts (see External Services). You can delete all AccessIQ data by deactivating and deleting the plugin. For heatmap and analytics tracking, we recommend adding a disclosure to your site’s privacy policy informing visitors that anonymous click and session data is collected for site improvement. ### Development Source Unminified source code available at: https://gitlab.com/thereadscope/accessiq ## Captures d’écrans * [[ * **Overview Dashboard** — Combined accessibility + analytics dashboard with animated score ring and tab navigation * [[ * **WCAG Scanner** — Scan any URL for WCAG 2.1 violations with compliance score and level selector * [[ * **Scan Reports** — History of all scans with scores, issue counts, and relative timestamps * [[ * **Single Report View** — Detailed report with score ring, violation breakdown, and severity labels * [[ * **Heatmap Engine** — Live click heatmap overlaid on your site with macOS-style browser chrome * [[ * **Top Clicked Elements** — Gold/Silver/Bronze ranked table with click count and% breakdown * [[ * **Behavior Analytics** — Daily sessions chart, device breakdown donut, and top pages table * [[ * **Device Breakdown** — Animated donut chart showing Desktop/Mobile/Tablet split * [[ * **Accessibility Widget** — Frontend floating toolbar with font size, contrast, and dyslexia controls ## Installation #### Automatic Installation (Recommended) 1.

Yes. Everything in this WordPress.org release is 100% free — unlimited WCAG scans, the full heatmap engine, behavior analytics, and the frontend accessibility widget. No scan credits, no paywalls, no expiry. AccessIQ Pro is an optional paid upgrade for agencies that need PDF reports, AI alt text, multi-site monitoring, and advanced analytics. ### Will AccessIQ slow down my site? No. The heatmap tracking script is under 3KB and loads asynchronously after the page has fully rendered. It has zero impact on your Core Web Vitals or PageSpeed score. ### Does AccessIQ send my data to external servers? No. All scan results, click coordinates, and session data are stored in your own WordPress database. The scanner fetches your own pages locally and saves results via AJAX to your site. No data leaves your server. ### Which WCAG standard does the scanner support? AccessIQ checks against WCAG 2.1 at Levels A, AA, and AAA. You can choose the compliance level when running each scan. WCAG 2.1 is the standard referenced by ADA, EAA (EU), and AODA (Canada) compliance requirements. ### How is AccessIQ different from overlay accessibility widgets? Overlay widgets (like UserWay, AudioEye) add a toolbar to your site that lets visitors adjust display settings — but they do not fix underlying code violations. Automated overlays are widely rejected by the accessibility community and have been named in lawsuits. AccessIQ’s scanner finds actual violations in your HTML. Fixing those violations is the only real path to WCAG compliance. ### Is AccessIQ GDPR compliant? The plugin collects click coordinates and page URLs for heatmaps, and session duration and device type for analytics. No IP addresses, usernames, email addresses, or personally identifiable information (PII) are stored. No cookies are used for tracking. We recommend disclosing heatmap and analytics collection in your site’s privacy policy. ### Can I use AccessIQ on client sites? Yes. You can install and use AccessIQ on any number of client sites. AccessIQ Pro adds a Multi-Site Hub Dashboard so you can monitor all client sites from one central location. ### How is AccessIQ different from other WordPress accessibility plugins? Most accessibility plugins either add a frontend widget (which doesn’t fix real violations) or run a basic scan once. AccessIQ combines a full WCAG 2.1 scanner with ongoing score history, click heatmaps, and behavior analytics — all self-hosted, all inside your WordPress admin, with no external subscriptions required. ### Does the scanner work with Elementor, Divi, or other page builders? Yes. The WCAG scanner analyzes the final rendered HTML of your page — regardless of which theme or page builder was used to create it. ### Can I track heatmaps across multiple pages? Yes. The heatmap tracker automatically collects click data on every page visitors browse. Select any tracked page from the dropdown in the Heatmap Engine to view its heatmap. ### Does the accessibility widget fix WCAG violations? The frontend widget helps visitors adjust display settings (font size, contrast, dyslexia font). It improves the experience for visitors with certain needs but does not fix underlying WCAG code violations — that is what the scanner is for. Both tools complement each other. ### How do I export or share scan results? Use the Print Report button to print or save as PDF from your browser. AccessIQ Pro adds full PDF compliance report generation with white-label branding. ### How do I get support?
