AccessMate vs DJ-Accessibility – Accessibility Plugin

AccessMate scans your WordPress site for accessibility issues against WCAG 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, and Section 508 — pick a single standard or combine several — scores each page, and provides guided fixes, all from your WordPress dashboard. Zero running cost for you. AccessMate is 100% free. AI features (auto alt-text, code fixes, plain-English explanations) use your own API key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, or a local Ollama instance.

This is a standard browser-initiated HTTP request that includes the visitor’s IP address and User-Agent string. The font is cached locally after the first load; no further requests are made on subsequent pages. This request is triggered only by the visitor explicitly toggling the dyslexia font feature — it is never loaded automatically. jsDelivr — https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/ Privacy Policy
