Biggest opportunity: Swap “wcag” and “ada” for “coin” and “eaa”. “wcag” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “coin” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “ada” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “eaa” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →8.4%
of downloads still active
At least 80K of 957.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “wcag” and “ada” for “coin” and “eaa”. “wcag” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “coin” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “ada” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “eaa” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “wcag”. Down 5 places since 2026-09-18, now #21. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “ada”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I do not use the functionalities provided by this plugins but Shortcut (Ctrl+U) conflicts with Mozilla FireFox page source. This hampers my daily works. I don’t how many other people noticed this but developer should consider to change the shortcut.

The plugin might be wonderful but, given that you *have* to subscribe and give them all your personal data in order to even test the plugin, it’s a hard pass from me.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Dario Sinozic1.4y ago
The UserWay plugin does what it’s supposed to do – it improves accessibility on your website. For basic use cases and users looking for a quick solution without technical hassle, it works just fine. However – and it’s a big however – the plugin persistently displays a large banner in the WordPress admin area, with no option to permanently dismiss it. There’s no “don’t show again” button, which in 2025 feels like a UX crime. If I’m already using your tool, you don’t need to constantly remind me it exists. I know. I installed it. If you’re looking for a cleaner experience without in-your-face admin ads and unnecessary distractions, you might want to consider alternative plugins or handle accessibility manually. ✔️ Performs its basic function well❌ No way to remove the admin banner❌ Pushy self-promotion inside the dashboard

We were looking for an accessibility solution for our corporate website, with a good look&feel for smartphones and all kind of devices, easy to install and use, and reasonable price, to improve the web user experience. UserWay has overexceeded our expectations, the installation and configutaion has been really simple and the support team completely disposed, answering inmediately any question. Very happy with the decision.

I installed it on my website and had some problem with stretch my website. I contacted support, first of all, reaching them was too fast and easy. they listened to issue and resolve it very fast (actually it was my fault!). I’m going to buy this plugin and recommend it to all who want to make their website easy for all specially for whom which is working with disable people or elderlies.

The accessibility plugin is working great, there is an option to manage the settings from the userway dashboard, change the colors and the size of the widget and more.There is an area on the dashboard where ALT texts can be added for the images, and the plugin knows how to solve almost all of the accessibility issues.
