Web Accessibility (formally known as Ally) – WCAG Scanning, Guided Fixes, Usability Widget

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 75% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

At the current install trend, crossing 600K+ in roughly 353 days.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Do not install this. I’ve just wasted three hours trying to find why Elementor was suddenly appearing in my WP sidebar. This sack of sh*t software is not what it was. Delete it. Don’t upgrade it. It installs an Elementor menu and hundreds of “elementor” links on your server without asking. If I wanted Elementor on my server I would install it. The Legacy plugin was good. This is a bandit that sneaks stuff onto your server. JUST DELETE IT This topic was modified 1 week, 2 days ago by aecnews.

   As the installation says: install/activate/go to dashboard/enjoy. Enjoy what? The “Let’s improve your site’s accessibility” “Get started” does not do anything, and I stuck on that “dashboard” page, cannot do anything.

   I am using this plugin, and it’s good.I have a question: Is it a free plugin? I know it has pro features. But my question is, after installation, the features I am getting are all free, right?

   After you manually fix the errors, they immediately come back unless you are willing to pay for the pro version, this is just another money maker for Elementor, we spend hundreds of dollars on Elementor Pro, Image optimizer, Site mailer and more. I know I can pay for a monthly upgrade but not interested.
