About this plugin
WebYes is an accessibility checker that helps WordPress site owners and developers improve their website’s accessibility. It scans your webpage and highlights WCAG and ADA violations directly on the frontend, making them easy to identify and fix.
Key Features
Here’s what the WebYes plugin can do:
- Highlights headings and flags incorrect heading order for better structure.
- Identifies elements with poor contrast and suggests improvements.
- Flags ambiguous links and encourages more descriptive alternatives.
- Detects input fields missing labels to ensure accessibility.
- Annotates images without alt text to enhance screen reader support.
- Simulates screen reader output by letting users hover over elements.
Note: The Screen Reader Wand (screen reader simulation) is an experimental feature and may not function perfectly at all times.
Why Use the WebYes Plugin?
WebYes makes accessibility checks quick and easy. It shows issues right on your website, so you know exactly where to make adjustments.
To fix the issue, you can simply right-click the annotated element, select Inspect Element, and update the code or attributes. Everything is done right on your site – no need to switch to external tools or visit third-party web apps.
Limitations and Advanced Solutions
The WebYes plugin highlights only the most common accessibility gaps. However, it should be noted that no automated tool, including WebYes, can identify every issue or fully guarantee compliance with ADA and WCAG standards.
