WCAG 2.2

This plugin helps address several WCAG 2.2 success criteria including perceivable content, operable navigation, and understandable interfaces. It is not a complete compliance solution but significantly improves accessibility for most sites.

External services

This plugin does not connect to any third-party service. The optional accessibility scanner sends a single HTTP request to your own site’s homepage (the same URL returned by home_url()) to analyze its markup locally on your server. No data ever leaves your installation. The dyslexia-friendly font (OpenDyslexic) and all toolbar assets are bundled with the plugin and served from your own domain. OpenDyslexic is licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 (GPL-compatible).

Privacy

• Plugin settings are stored locally in the wp_options table (option agoaccess_settings).
• Visitor toolbar preferences are stored only in the visitor’s own browser localStorage. They are never sent to the server or to any third party.
• Read Aloud uses the browser’s built-in Web Speech API; no audio or text is sent to an external service.
• On uninstall, the agoaccess_settings option is removed.
