## Description
Yodsira Accessibility Markup Audit does not add widgets to your site. It finds real
markup problems — and, for safe categories, fixes the actual DOM after showing you
exactly what will change.
**The audit** scans your homepage, latest posts and one static page (on a schedule
or on demand) and reports:
* images without alt text
* skipped heading levels (h2 h4) and multiple h1
* links and buttons with no accessible name (icon-only links)
* form fields without labels
* pages that do not declare their language (``)
* missing or empty ``
* generic link text (“read more”, “click here”)
Every issue comes with a severity and a one-phrase “how to fix” — the report is
useful on its own, even if you fix everything by hand.
**The repairs** (each is a separate toggle):
Safe, on by default:
* fill missing `alt` from the media library title/alt field
* declare the page language on `<html>`
* add `scope` to table headers
Risky, off by default — review the preview first:
* accessible names for unlabeled controls (from URL slugs / placeholders)
* titles for untitled iframes
**Preview before anything goes live.** The plugin records every attribute it would
add — target, attribute, new value — and shows the list before you enable a repair.
Nothing is ever removed from your markup; repairs only add attributes. When a repair
has nothing to change, the page is served byte-for-byte unchanged.
**Honest scope:** automated checks catch a part of WCAG issues (roughly the mechanical
20–40%); contrast, focus order and ARIA patterns still need a human expert. Use
it to keep the floor high and the report short.
**Why not an overlay?** Overlay widgets that inject toolbars and rewrite the page
at runtime are rejected by the accessibility community: they don’t fix markup, sometimes
break assistive tech, and create false confidence. Yodsira Accessibility Markup
Audit is the opposite approach: find problems, fix the markup, show your work.
### Yodsira Accessibility Markup Audit Pro
The companion plugin adds the client-facing layer on top of the free audit:
* client-ready compliance report (print to PDF) with an agency white-label
* weekly rescans of up to 25 pages with change digests
* an honest “what automation does not cover” section
[Buy Pro — $99/year](https://yodsira.com/en/product/a11yfix/)
### External Services
This plugin can send notifications ONLY to the service you configure in its
own
settings. It never contacts yodsira.com servers.
— Telegram notifications —
* What the service is: Telegram Bot API (api.telegram.
org), used to deliver instant alerts to your own bot and chat. * What data is sent
and when: a short alert text with your site name and the event details – sent only
when the monitored event fires or when you press the test button in settings. *
Opt-in: the feature is fully disabled until you enter your own bot token and chat
id; clearing them switches it off. * Terms: https://telegram.org/tos * Privacy:

### How the scan works
The daily scan fetches your site’s own pages over HTTP (the same way a
visitor’s
browser would) and checks each page against nine concrete rules, for example: images
without meaningful alt text, links that contain only an icon with no accessible
name, buttons and toggles missing state attributes, and headings that skip levels.
The scan runs from your own admin dashboard – no external service is involved and
no page content leaves the site. Findings are listed with the exact URL, the rule
that matched and a suggested fix you can preview before applying.
## Installation
1. Upload the `yodsira-accessibility-markup-audit` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`,
or install the zip via Plugins Add New Upload Plugin.
2. Activate the plugin.
3. Open the Audit menu press “Run scan now”.
4. Review the report; enable repairs one by one, using Preview first.
## FAQ
### Will it slow my site down?
The scan runs on a cron request, never on a visitor’s page load. With only safe
repairs on, enabled fixes run through native WordPress filters; the output-buffered
DOM pass activates only when you enable DOM-level repairs, and pages without needed
changes are returned untouched.
### Can it break my layout?
Repairs only add attributes (alt, lang, scope, aria-label, title, value) and never
touch tags, classes or styles. The preview shows every change before you enable
a repair, and the front-end fixes have a master switch.
### Is my site compliant after this?
No automated tool can promise compliance. The plugin fixes mechanical issues and
produces a clear report; a full audit needs a specialist. Anything promising “one-
click compliance” is selling you a lawsuit risk.
### Where is my data stored?
Scan results live in your own database. Nothing is sent to third-party services;
the scanner crawls only your own site.
