Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Note: This plugin is NOT an accessibility overlay. It acts as an audit and assistance tool to help website administrators fix structural code errors rather than applying cosmetic patches.

Key Features

  • Score Dashboard: Visual accessibility health grade (0-100) based on severity weighting.
  • In-Depth Auditing: Checks language tags, image alt attributes (missing, decorative/informative check, duplicate alts, filename alts), heading structures, form field connections, button labels, table header markup, media warning tags, ARIA spelling validation, and HTML5 layout landmarks.
  • AJAX Scanning Engine: Safely queries up to 10 pages in small batches to completely avoid PHP timeout limits.
  • Spreadsheet & PDF Exports: Download records in CSV or render print-ready layout templates.
  • Robust Security: Includes REST endpoint capability checks ( manage_options ), WordPress nonce authorization, and strict PHP input sanitization.

Developer Hooks

The plugin provides hooks to enable extension in premium custom versions:

1. devaura_accessibility_scanner_registered_rules (Filter)

Register custom WCAG rules. Custom rules must implement AccessibilityScanner\Analyzer\RuleInterface.

add_filter( 'devaura_accessibility_scanner_registered_rules', function( $rules ) { $rules[] = new MyCustomContrastRule(); return $rules; } );

2. devaura_accessibility_scanner_get_page_html (Filter)

Intercept page content retrieval before rules analyze it. Useful for mocking HTML or offline staging tests.

local/' ) { return '<html><html lang="en"><body><h1>Title</h1></body></html>'; } return $html; }, 10, 2 );

Uninstalling

By default, activating the plugin creates two custom tables: wp_devaura_as_scans and wp_devaura_as_issues. If you select Scrub all database reports & logs on plugin deletion in the settings tab, deleting the plugin will completely remove these tables and their records.
