Description
Antoniomaxtp Accessibility Scanner helps editors, developers, and agencies quickly detect common accessibility issues.
The plugin scans internal pages and produces a report with:
- issue severity (critical, medium, minor, suggestion)
- HTML details for affected elements
- actionable remediation suggestions
- CSV and HTML export
- automatic fixes for selected issues (for example missing image alt, empty links, rel on target _blank links)
Additional features include:
- batch scanning via AJAX with progress bar
- pause/resume scan
- report filters and search
- automatic alt assignment for newly uploaded images
- checks for CSS background images (inline styles and style tags)
Important limitations
This plugin provides an automated preliminary check and does not replace a full manual audit.
You still need real keyboard testing, screen reader testing, visual contrast checks, and user-flow validation.

FAQ
-
Does this plugin make my site fully compliant automatically?
-
No. It helps you identify and fix common issues, but compliance still requires manual testing.
-
Can I use it on sites built with page builders?
-
Yes, but some automatic fixes may not apply to elements generated by templates, header/footer builders, or complex modules.
-
Are decorative images without alt flagged as errors?
-
No. Images with an empty alt attribute (
alt="") are treated as decorative and are not flagged.
