Biggest opportunity: Swap “wcag” for “black and white”. “wcag” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “black and white” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

3.6%

of downloads still active

At least 1K of 27.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Positive Praise

Reviewers call it the best accessibility toolbar they've tried and say it works where other plugins broke their site styling, with one small note that the touch target is a bit undersized.

    This is an excellent plugin. The “Touch” area for the user to interact with is ironically slightly smaller than allowed in the accessibility guidelines.

    I’ve came across this one after trying some other plugins that will not work / work incorrectly like transforming website to all white etc..This one works and the free version suits my small projects nicely.
