Make progress.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Mant Accessibility brings accessibility scanning into your WordPress dashboard. Check your homepage, a selection of pages, or all published content, then use the findings to decide what to improve next.<\/p>\n\n<p>The scanner checks pages as they render in the browser, combining axe-core with additional accessibility rules. It helps identify common barriers such as missing image alternative text, heading structure problems, low color contrast, missing form labels, and keyboard accessibility concerns.<\/p>\n\n<p>Built for site owners, content editors, and developers who want a practical starting point without leaving WordPress.<\/p>\n\n<h4>What you can do<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Choose your scan scope.<\/strong> Scan your homepage, multiple selected pages, or all published content. Keep the browser tab open while the scan runs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>See the overall picture.<\/strong> Review an accessibility score, issue counts, and severity summaries in the dashboard.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Understand the findings.<\/strong> Review affected pages, explanations, element selectors, and suggested fixes. Filter the issue list to focus your work.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inspect pages in context.<\/strong> Use administrator-only front-end scan tools and the page overlay to investigate findings on the page itself.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enable focused improvements.<\/strong> Opt in to helpers for skip links, keyboard focus outlines, mobile zoom, and selected markup or label issues.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check color combinations.<\/strong> Use the built-in contrast tester when choosing text and background colors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>A simple workflow<\/h4>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Choose the pages you want to check and start a scan.<\/li>\n<li>Review the dashboard and open the issues list.<\/li>\n<li>Use the guidance to make changes in your content, theme, or other plugins.<\/li>\n<li>Scan again and combine the results with keyboard, screen reader, and other manual testing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>The issue list provides findings and guidance; it does not automatically rewrite your content. Front-end improvements are optional and should be tested with your theme.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Accessibility is an ongoing process<\/h4>\n\n<p>Automated testing can identify some accessibility problems, not all of them. A high score or an empty issue list is not a certification of WCAG conformance. Mant Accessibility does not replace a manual accessibility audit or testing with people with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Help and documentation<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mantdesign.de\/mant-accessibility-documentation\/\">Read the documentation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/plugin\/mant-accessibility\/\">Ask a question in the support forum<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mantdesign.de\/\">Meet Mant Design<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>In WordPress, go to <strong>Plugins &gt; Add New Plugin<\/strong>, search for <strong>Mant Accessibility<\/strong>, and install it.
