AI providers (optional) When you add an API key and click an AI action (auto-fix suggestion, alt-text generation, or accessibility report summary), your WordPress server sends a direct HTTPS request to your chosen AI provider. The request contains the page HTML snippet and accessibility issue context being analysed. No data passes through AccessMate servers.

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
