Custom profiles
Build your own named feature bundles β pick a title, an icon, a description, and the adjustments the profile should switch on β and they appear in the widget alongside the built-in profiles. There is no limit on how many you create.
A separate Pro plugin
Prime Accessibility Pro is a separate plugin, distributed from primeaccessibility.com. Its code is not part of this package. Installing it adds:
- Screen Reader
- Keyboard Navigation
- Dyslexia Friendly
- Smart Contrast
- Brightness
- Grayscale
- Mute Sounds
- Blind and Dyslexia profiles
- Translator in the widget header, plus translation & consent options
- Export / import of settings, presets, and profiles
- Accessibility Checker with AI-assisted fixes
- Priority support
Those features are implemented entirely in the separate Pro plugin β this package does not contain their code. Where the admin screens mention them, they are shown as a preview of what the separate plugin adds, in the same way a screenshot would be. Everything this package does contain is fully functional, with no license key, trial period, quota, or time limit of any kind.
External services
Prime Accessibility works entirely on your own server. The integrations below are the only cases where anything leaves it; each is listed with what is sent and when.
Free Dictionary API (dictionaryapi.dev)
Powers the Dictionary adjustment in the accessibility widget, which shows the definition of a word a visitor looks up. Definitions come from a dictionary corpus that cannot be bundled with a plugin, so the lookup is performed by the remote service.
What is sent and when: only the single word the visitor double-clicked, as part of the request URL (https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/<word>). The request is made from the visitor’s browser, one request per lookup. Nothing is sent unless the visitor has switched the Dictionary adjustment on in the widget and then double-clicks a word. No page content, site address, account details, or other identifying information is included by the plugin.
Service: Free Dictionary API β a free, community-run, open-source project (source code). Its maintainers do not publish a separate terms-of-service or privacy-policy document; the project page and repository above are the service’s own documentation of what it is and how it may be used. If you would rather your visitors never contact it, leave the Dictionary adjustment switched off for your presets.
Freemius
The Freemius SDK handles the plugin’s opt-in usage tracking, and delivers updates for customers of the separate Pro plugin.
What is sent and when: nothing is sent until you explicitly click “Allow & Continue” on the opt-in screen shown after activation. If you skip it, no diagnostic data leaves your site. If you accept, Freemius receives the technical profile described on that screen (site URL, WordPress and PHP versions, active theme and plugins, and the administrator’s name and email address) so it can send security and update notices.
Service: Freemius β Terms of Service, Privacy Policy.
Google Translate β separate Pro plugin only
The in-widget translator is part of the separate Pro plugin and its code is not included in this package. When that plugin is installed, the translator is enabled, and a visitor consents to it, the visible text of the page is sent to Google’s translation service to be translated.
The Pro screen reader uses the same service for speech in languages the visitor’s browser has no voice installed for, such as Bangla. Only then, and only while the visitor has not declined the translation consent, the text being read is requested as audio β by your server rather than the visitor’s browser, so the visitor’s IP address is not exposed. Languages the device can speak on its own never leave the site.
Service: Google β Terms of Service, Privacy Policy.
No data is sent to Google by this free package.
Installation
- Upload the plugin to
/wp-content/plugins/prime-accessibility/and activate it through the Plugins screen in WordPress. - Open Prime Accessibility in the admin menu.
- Edit the default preset to choose which profiles and features appear in the widget, then style the panel and launcher button.
Frequently asked questions
Does Prime Accessibility make my site fully WCAG compliant?
No plugin can do that on its own. Prime Accessibility gives visitors tools to adapt your pages and helps you address common issues, but full compliance also depends on your content, markup, and media.
Does it work with my theme and page builder?
Yes. The widget renders in its own container and is built to work alongside WordPress themes and popular page builders without changing your design.
Will it slow down my site?
The widget loads only on pages where a preset applies, and Pro-only code is not shipped in the free version at all.
Why do some options show a PRO badge?
Those features live in a separate plugin, Prime Accessibility Pro, and their code is not part of this download β there is nothing in this package to unlock. The badge marks them so you can see what the separate plugin adds before installing it.
Is anything in this plugin limited by a license key or a trial?
No. Every feature included in this package is fully functional, permanently, with no license key, trial period, usage quota, or time limit. Nothing stops working if a license expires or was never present.
Does the plugin contact any external server?
Only in the cases described under βExternal servicesβ above. The plugin never contacts our own servers on its own: there is no license check, no usage ping, and no news or product feed in this package.
Where is visitor preference data stored?
Saved preferences are stored on your own site β in a cookie for guests, and against the user account for logged-in visitors. Nothing is sent to a third party.
