“AccessYes is one of the best free accessibility widgets I’ve found. It’s fully self-hosted, with no external CDN scripts, no telemetry, and no phone-home behavior during normal operation. The only outbound call is an optional uninstall survey you can skip entirely. Feature-wise, it blows the competition away: dyslexia-friendly fonts, reading mask, contrast modes, text sizing, pause animations, highlight links, language support, and more, all completely free with no upsells locked behind a paywall. Clean code, easy setup, and genuinely privacy-respecting. Highly recommended for any WordPress site.”
“Not only is it an excellent plugin, but the support is incredibly efficient. I had a small problem following WordPress updates, which was resolved quickly and easily. There are real people behind this plugin. I highly recommend it.”
Frequently asked questions
