About this plugin

Limen Accessibility Audit checks your published pages against WCAG 2.1 Level AA and, for every failure it finds, shows you the specific code that fixes it in WordPress or WooCommerce.

It is built around one uncomfortable fact that most accessibility tools skate over: automated testing finds roughly a third of accessibility barriers. No scanner can tell whether your alt text is accurate, whether your headings actually describe the content, or whether a keyboard user can finish checkout. This plugin says so plainly, separates what it proved from what a person still has to check, and never issues a conformance claim.

What it does

  • Scans your home page and a sample of each content type — posts, pages, products, custom types
  • Reports 27 checks across WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA
  • Separates confirmed failures from checks that need a human, and never counts the second group in your score
  • Shows the fix as WordPress-specific code you can copy, not generic advice
  • Orders findings by what actually appears in legal complaints, not by scanner severity
  • Lists explicitly what it could not determine

Your pages are never uploaded

The scan runs entirely inside your browser tab. The plugin fetches your own pages from your own site — same origin, no proxy — and audits them in JavaScript on your machine.

There is no server in the path. This is not a privacy promise bolted on afterwards; it is how the plugin is built, and it means the tool also works on staging sites, password-protected pages, and logged-in views that an external crawler could never reach.

Everything here is free

Every check, every score and every fix snippet is free and fully enabled, permanently. Nothing is held back, and there is no paid version of this plugin.

Stores nothing, contacts nothing

The plugin writes nothing to your database: no options, no tables, no transients, no scheduled tasks. It makes no requests to any external service. The only network requests it makes are to your own site, from your own browser, to fetch the pages it audits.

Source code

All of the code is included in the plugin, unminified. The audit engine lives in the engine/ folder as readable JavaScript.
