Biggest opportunity: Swap “accessibility” and “classicpress” for “basic” and “congress”. “accessibility” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “basic” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “classicpress” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “congress” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 168.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 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 3 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.

74 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 54 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “accessibility” and “classicpress” for “basic” and “congress”. “accessibility” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “basic” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “classicpress” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “congress” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “classicpress”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Ich hatte immer das Problem das Fehler entstanden sind, die ich ohne Weiteres nicht beheben konnte. So ist das ganz einfach geworden! Danke

Not recommended. Waste of time, doesn’t even work on free version after tinkering with it for 30 minutes, that’s about 25 more minutes than I usually give plugins to see if I can get them to work, so I’m sure it won’t work on paid version. Sorry if you can’t even give me a good experience with your free version, why would I ever pay for it?I’m moving on now to the next plugin,

The plugin was very easy to download, activate and conduct my first scan. The results were very informative telling me exactly what needed to be fixed and how to fix it in order to make my site ADA compliant. The basic version is very helpful, but I can see the need for the full version!

The plugin works fine and has helped me a lot to make a site ada compliance. The support team is awesome, the beta version of the plugin created by them was very helpful.

The plugin works great on my dedicated server and when some questions popped up about performance the developer found out what caused it and it got rectified right away!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ddmccaleb7.8y ago
VERY useful. I searched for a plugin that had WAVE scanning integrated and this plugin came up. I was a bit hesitant because there were only a few reviews and the price was higher than most plugins. However, if the plugin worked, it would save me $1,000 from requesting a WAVE scan of my entire site. In short, this plugin is amazing. It is super-detailed. That makes it a bit longer to learn and master. However it makes it amazingly useful. If you take compliance seriously, this is the plugin for you. I am not a developer, but understand more about coding than the average content creator. I was able to understand this plugin, though it took several hours. Don’t take that as a bad thing. It was necessary, and I learned a TON about ADA compliance in the meantime. When I had a question, the author was super-fast and helpful. I highly recommend this plugin.

This plugin has been very useful in creating a fully ADA compliant site. Not only is it cheaper than most plugins, it encourages you as you work on the site. Letting you know what needs changed, and how far you have left to go. There’s been a few issues’ I’ve noticed with the builder “Themify”, in the scanning. But whatever the issue is, most of the time the plugin creator has been very helpful in resolving these issues. The creator of the plugin responds within about 3 hours or less whenever you email. Most the time it’s less than 30 minutes depending on the issue. Very glad to have such great support for the plugin. I highly recommend any business that is looking for building a ADA Compliant site, to use this plugin as it has done a great job for websites I use, and it’s got a great price tag! It’s well worth the price, and the additional features it gives to show you the definition of what each error is, is very useful.

Up-to-date standards are offered for checking compliance, and it provides a cost-effective way to scan a site for compliance. There’s services out there where it’d cost more than $150 (the current cost of a 1 site 1 year license) for the size of the sites I’m working with. I’m very happy to see this offering in the first place, and it’s even nicer to see how thorough it looks to be. Of course, it’s not perfect so I’d love to see more of the WP.org listing fleshed out (the developer author/contributor mention is missing, etc.), I’d love to see the free version on GitHub (or similar for community development assistance [I have a few things I’d help with] which is very nice to see in a WP.org listing to show there’s support / ongoing development for the plugin), and of course I’d love to see the server-side checker come to feature-parity with WAVE (currently WAVE is showing a few things the server-side checker doesn’t have [color contrast, etc.]) Keep up the great work!
