About WebTechee AccessScan

From the official readme · v1.0.0

Description

WebTechee AccessScan helps WordPress site owners and developers quickly identify common accessibility issues on their site.

The plugin performs an automated scan of your published content and highlights issues such as:

  • Images missing alt attributes
  • Empty anchor links without accessible text

The scan runs on demand from the WordPress admin and displays results instantly — no configuration required.

This lightweight, stateless scanner is designed for quick checks during development or content review.

⚠️ This plugin does not store scan data in the database and does not modify your content.

  1. Go to AccessScan in the WordPress admin menu
  2. Click Run Scan
  3. Review detected accessibility issues and affected HTML elements
  4. Fix issues directly in your content or theme

  • One-click accessibility scan
  • Detects common WCAG-related issues
  • Displays affected HTML elements for easier fixes
  • Lightweight and fast
  • No database tables
  • No scheduled tasks
