Scans In Your Own Browser
Each page loads into a hidden frame inside your admin session and is tested there with axe-core. Your server does no rendering work, nothing about your site is sent anywhere, and there is no per-scan cost.

Everything You Need To Actually Fix It
🗣️
Explained In Plain English
Every finding says what is wrong, who it blocks, and the exact steps to fix it in WordPress, WooCommerce, Elementor or the block editor. No developer jargon, no rule codes to look up.
🔧
Repairs The Page, Not The Browser
Skip links, visible keyboard focus, pinch-zoom, unlabelled form fields, untitled embeds, unnamed menus. Where a fix belongs in the markup, it is made in the markup before the page is sent.
🖼️
Bulk Alt Text Editor
Every image missing a description on one screen, with the picture next to the box, saving as you type. WordPress normally makes you open one modal per image.
📄
Accessibility Statement Generator
Builds the statement the European Accessibility Act requires, worded honestly, as a draft page you review before publishing. It never publishes anything on its own.
✋
A 16-Point Manual Checklist
Automated testing reliably catches about a third of WCAG failures. The rest needs a person, so the checks are written so you can actually carry them out yourself.
Not An Overlay
Why This Is Different
Most accessibility plugins sell an overlay — a widget that sits on top of your site. Disabled users campaign against them, and courts have not been impressed either.
An overlay
Loads a script that tries to patch your pages in the visitor's browser.
AccessVane
Changes what your server actually sends, so the page is fixed for everyone.
An overlay
Your HTML never changes, which is why sites carrying an overlay still fail audits.
AccessVane
Re-scan after a repair and the finding is gone, because the markup is different.
An overlay
Monthly fee, forever, for a script you cannot turn off without losing everything.
AccessVane
Free. Deactivate it and your repaired markup and alt text stay exactly where they are.
What It Does Not Claim
No plugin can make a site compliant, and any that says otherwise is selling you something. Automated testing reliably detects roughly a third of WCAG failures. A clean scan is a good sign, not a certificate — which is why the plugin says so on its own dashboard, and why it ships a manual checklist for the parts a scanner cannot reach.
The accessibility statement it generates is a draft for you to read and publish yourself, not an automatic claim of conformance made on your behalf.
