reala11y is a WordPress accessibility checker and scanner that helps your site move toward WCAG 2.2 AA conformance by scanning for common issues and applying safe, code-level fixes \u2014 skip links, focus outlines, language attributes, form labels, target-size, link purpose, and more. Unlike accessibility overlay widgets, reala11y modifies the underlying HTML so screen readers and keyboard users encounter the corrected page.<\/p>\n\n
reala11y is self-contained and contacts third-party services only as described below, and only when the relevant feature is used.<\/p>\n\n
WordPress.org \u2014 used for plugin update checks, as for any plugin hosted here. No personal data is sent beyond the standard update request.<\/p><\/li>\n
AI providers \u2014 OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini (optional, bring-your-own-key). The AI authoring features (for example, alt-text suggestions) stay off until you enter your own API key for a provider and run a feature. When you run a feature, reala11y uses your key to send that provider the input you selected \u2014 for example, the URL of an image or a block of your post's text \u2014 together with a short instruction prompt. The response is shown to you for review and is never applied automatically. reala11y does not proxy or resell AI usage; the provider bills you directly. Remove a provider's key to disable it.<\/p>\n\n
This free build does not bundle Freemius or any licensing or analytics service. See our privacy policy at https:\/\/reala11y.com\/legal\/privacy.<\/p>\n\n
reala11y is open source (GPLv2 or later). The admin interface is written in React and TypeScript and bundled with Vite. The human-readable source for the compiled files in build\/admin\/ ships with the plugin under admin\/src\/. To rebuild it, run \"npm install\" and then \"npm run build\" in the plugin's admin\/ directory.<\/p>\n\n
No tool can. reala11y identifies common WCAG issues and remediates a defined subset at the code level. Full conformance requires manual review and user testing.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Yes \u2014 bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini key. The AI authoring features then work in this free version at no extra charge from us; your provider bills you directly for what you use. reala11y never resells or proxies AI usage.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Overlay widgets (e.g., accessiBe, UserWay) inject a floating JavaScript layer that does not modify the underlying HTML. Screen readers continue to see the original, unfixed page. The FTC fined accessiBe $1,000,000 on April 21, 2025 for claiming automated WCAG compliance. reala11y instead applies fixes to the actual HTML that browsers, screen readers, and crawlers see.<\/p><\/dd>\n
WCAG 2.2 AA. WCAG 2.2 became a W3C Recommendation on October 5, 2023.<\/p><\/dd>\n
If you are looking for an accessiBe or UserWay alternative that fixes the underlying HTML instead of layering a JavaScript widget on top, reala11y is built for that. Overlay widgets leave the original page unchanged for screen readers; reala11y edits the actual code. As context, the FTC fined accessiBe $1,000,000 on April 21, 2025 over automated WCAG compliance claims.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Yes. The scanner flags images missing alt text (WCAG 1.1.1), and the bring-your-own-key AI tools can draft an alt-text suggestion using your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini key. Every suggestion is shown for your review and is never applied automatically.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
