About Rank+ – Website Accessibility
From the official readme · v1.0.11Description
Rank+ – Website Accessibility adds a floating accessibility toolbar to your website so visitors can adapt the page to their needs — larger text, high contrast, keyboard-friendly navigation, text-to-speech, and much more. Install, enable, done: every feature works out of the box, and each one can be turned off individually.
The plugin itself makes no external requests and sends no data to Rank+. It has no account, CDN files, or tracking, and visitor preferences are stored only in the visitor’s own browser. Voice commands use browser or platform speech recognition, so microphone audio may be processed remotely. The text reader sends selected or page text to browser or platform speech-synthesis services; that text may be processed remotely, depending on the visitor’s browser or device settings.
Visitor toolbar features
- Navigation: enhanced keyboard navigation with visible focus, smart landmark navigation (number keys), text reader (read aloud on click), voice commands
- Contrast and color: high / dark / light contrast, monochrome, low and high saturation, and four color-blindness correction filters (protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia, achromatopsia)
- Content: font size, line / word / letter spacing, page zoom, readable font, large black or white cursor, stop animations, image descriptions, highlight links, highlight headings, bionic reading, screen magnifier, reading focus mask, virtual keyboard
- Skip-to-content link for keyboard and screen-reader users
- Automatic labeling of unlabeled form fields (adds
aria-labelserver-side and for dynamically loaded forms) - Visitors who prefer no toolbar can dismiss it; a small pill lets them bring it back
- Honors the operating-system “reduce motion” preference
Site-owner features
- Accessibility statement generator: fill in your organization details, pick the standard that applies to your region, then create a draft statement page or download the statement as an HTML file
- Choose the toolbar color and screen side (left or right)
- Enable or disable every single toolbar feature
- Reading / voice language: automatic, Hebrew, English, Arabic, Russian, or German
- Full right-to-left (RTL) support for Hebrew and Arabic sites
Accessibility standards
The toolbar features are designed around the success criteria of WCAG 2.1 AA, the standard referenced by accessibility regulations in many countries — including the ADA and Section 508 (United States), EN 301 549 and the Web Accessibility Directive (European Union), BITV 2.0 and the BFSG (Germany), the Disability Discrimination Act (Australia), the Equality Act 2010 (United Kingdom), and IS 5568 (Israel). The statement generator can reference the standard relevant to your region.
Please note: accessibility is a property of your whole website — content, theme, media, and code. No plugin alone can make a website fully accessible or guarantee legal compliance. Use this plugin as one layer of your accessibility work, and consult an accessibility professional for an audit where the law requires one.
Languages
English, Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, and German translations are bundled. The toolbar follows your site language, including right-to-left layout.

/wp-content/plugins/website-accessibility-by-rankplus/, or install it through the WordPress Plugins screen. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.

Frequently asked questions
Does the plugin call any external service?
The plugin itself makes no external requests and does not send data to Rank+. All CSS, JavaScript, and images are bundled and served from your own site. The text reader sends selected or page text to browser or platform speech-synthesis services; that text may be processed remotely. Voice commands use browser or platform speech recognition, so microphone audio may be processed remotely, depending on the visitor’s browser or device settings.
Does it store anything about my visitors?
The plugin does not send visitor data to Rank+ or store it on your server. A visitor’s chosen preferences (for example, larger text) are kept in their own browser storage, and dismissing the toolbar sets one cookie in their browser so it stays dismissed for 30 days. Browser or platform speech recognition used for voice commands may process microphone audio remotely, and selected or page text sent to browser or platform speech-synthesis services may also be processed remotely, depending on the visitor’s browser or device settings.
Does installing this plugin make my site legally compliant?
No plugin can promise that. This toolbar gives your visitors powerful adaptation tools and helps you publish an accessibility statement, but full conformance also depends on your theme and content. For a formal compliance requirement, have your site audited by an accessibility professional.
Can I turn off some toolbar features?
Yes. Every feature has its own checkbox in Settings → Accessibility.
Changelog
1.0.11
- Clarified that selected or page text sent to browser or platform speech-synthesis services may be processed remotely, alongside the existing voice-command microphone disclosure.
1.0.10
- Clarified that the plugin makes no external requests or sends data to Rank+, while browser or platform speech recognition used for voice commands may process microphone audio remotely.
1.0.9
- Fixed scattered English text on translated sites. When a language was partly translated on translate.wordpress.org, that partial translation replaced the complete one bundled with the plugin, so some of the toolbar fell back to English. The bundled translations now fill in whatever the online translation is missing.
- The space bar on the on-screen keyboard now shows its label in your language instead of always reading “Space”.
- The on-screen keyboard’s language button and close button now describe themselves properly to screen readers.
1.0.8
- Text reader mode no longer swallows clicks on links, buttons, and form fields, so the page stays fully operable — by mouse and by keyboard — while the reader is switched on.
- The magnifier and the reading focus band now follow keyboard focus as well as the mouse pointer, so keyboard-only and touch visitors can use both.
- The reading focus band dims the page less, so text outside the band stays readable.
- Toolbar text, icons, and the focus ring now pick their own color automatically based on the main color you choose, so they stay readable with any color. A color that no text can be read on is no longer accepted, and the reason is explained on the settings screen.
- Control borders and the focus indicator inside the toolbar are darker, so they are visible against the panel.
- High and low contrast modes now also recolor placeholder text and icons, so icon-only buttons on the site no longer disappear when a mode is on.
- The “highlight hidden elements” mode no longer fades the elements it marks, so their text keeps its original contrast.
- Links keep a distinct focus indicator while “highlight links” is on.
- The toolbar panel now fits narrow screens and heavy zoom without clipped labels.
- The magnifier’s page copy is no longer reachable by keyboard, so focus can no longer disappear into it.
- Number keys 1-9 no longer get intercepted while you are typing in a field, a dropdown, or a rich-text editor.
- The spacing buttons now announce which spacing they adjust, and the landmark markers are hidden from screen readers.
- Closing the toolbar no longer pulls focus away from whatever you just clicked, and turning the toolbar off moves focus to the re-enable control.
- Voice command status is now announced, including when the microphone is blocked.
- The accessibility statement page is generated in the site’s language rather than your profile language, and an invalid contact email is now reported instead of being silently dropped.
1.0.7
- Documentation only: trimmed the plugin description. No functional changes, and no settings were changed.
1.0.6
- Hardened the automatic form-field labeling feature: it now identifies quoted attribute values in the page more reliably, so an input whose surrounding markup contains unusual quoting can no longer have a label spliced into the wrong place.
