Inspector-Based Approach (Transparent & Maintainable)
AccessBoost AI is designed around an audit + inspector workflow. Instead of relying on “overlay-only” approaches, it focuses on scanning and review so site owners can make responsible improvements. The plugin is built to be WordPress-native, lightweight, and compatible with modern themes and builders.
- Clear issue identification (easy for non-developers)
- Admin-controlled workflows (no unexpected site changes)
- Maintainable improvements that support long-term accessibility work
Important note: AccessBoost AI assists with identifying and improving accessibility issues. It does not guarantee legal compliance. Final compliance depends on content, implementation, and external requirements.
1) AI Accessibility Scanner (Site & Page Audits)
Run structured scans to detect common accessibility patterns and display them as actionable items. Use scans during development, before publishing, or as part of a recurring improvement workflow.
- Missing ALT text / weak ALT patterns

- Missing document title / missing HTML language
- Heading structure checks (H1/H2 order, skipped levels)
- ARIA & semantic attribute patterns
- Contrast warnings & readability signals
- Severity filters (High / Medium / Low)
- “Fixable” filter for quick wins
- Search issues instantly
- Score overview for progress tracking
- Page-level scan and review
- Pre-publish checks on important pages (Home, About, Contact, Checkout)
- Monthly site audits to reduce accessibility regressions
- Agency workflows: scan → fix → document → deliver

Smart Content Optimization (Editor Sidebar)
AccessBoost AI includes a built-in Editor Sidebar that lets you scan and improve accessibility-related content directly inside the WordPress editor. This tool is designed for quick checks and safe previews while writing or editing.
What this editor tool does
The Smart Content Optimization panel provides a lightweight, draft-safe scanning layer that helps authors detect common accessibility and readability patterns before publishing.
- Quick Scan — Scan the current post/page (drafts supported) without affecting live content.

- Smart Content Optimizer — AI-free readability and structure tips for clearer content.
- Editor integration — Works in the WordPress editor without overlays.
- Catch common issues before publishing
- Draft-safe scanning for writers and editors
- Improves clarity and structure in content
- Reduces rework after publishing
Note: This editor feature is a basic supportive scan tool. For full site audits, advanced inspections, and reports, use the dedicated scanner and Live Inspector.
3) Live Accessibility Inspector (On-Page Review)
The Live Inspector is an admin-only review panel that helps you inspect issues directly while browsing your site. It improves clarity by showing issue filters, search, and simulation modes in one place.
- Pick Element — target a specific element for review
- Scan This Page — run checks for the current page instantly
- Hover Hints — quick contextual hints while browsing
- Issue filters — All / High / Medium / Low / Fixable
