of downloads still active
At least 20K of 253.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,186 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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 15 releases 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.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “wordpress accessibility”, “feedback widget” and “ada compliance” (#5, #7 and #8 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

Simple to install, free and working. New features being added. Language management is not yet 100% (for non-English websites)

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. The only negative thing I could say is there’s no option to remove branding on the frontend, but it’s understandable and that’s a small price to pay for everything you get. Clean code, easy setup, and genuinely privacy-respecting. Highly recommended for any WordPress site.
