WP Accessibility

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 · 72% 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.

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.

   Hi great plugin.However some links get their title attribute removed If I enable the plugin. This thing causes a 4 points page speed accessibility drop.Ater disabling the pluging the titles are back and accessibility is bach to 95.note: “Remove title attributes from: Tag clouds” is unchecked. The links are not tags anyway. They come from Elementor IconBox

   This plugin knows there is no one-stop solution for accessibility, and it quietly works in the background to make some standard things better in the ways that it can. We install this on every client site and greatly appreciate its features as part of an overall culture of having an accessibility-focused mindset.

   There are no magic solutions for a complete conversion of a site with accessibility standards but this plugin helps a lot and has discreet functionality. Support and development is also active making it a trustworthy option.
