NINJA AI Accessibility
The European Accessibility Act (in force since June 2025) and WCAG 2.1 AA make accessibility a legal requirement, not a nice-to-have. NINJA AI Accessibility scans every published post and page for the barriers you can actually fix and scores each one 0–100, worst-first.
This is not an accessibility ”overlay.” Overlay widgets don’t create compliance — courts have repeatedly ruled against them, and in 2025 a large share of accessibility lawsuits targeted sites that had one installed. We don’t hide problems behind a toolbar; we find the real ones in your content and tell you how to fix them.
What it checks (per post/page, scored 0–100):
- Image alt text (WCAG 1.1.1) — flags images with no
altattribute. Valid decorative images (alt="") are correctly left alone, so you don’t get false positives. - Link purpose (WCAG 2.4.4) — empty links and vague text like ”click here” or ”read more” that tell a screen-reader user nothing out of context.
- Heading structure (WCAG 1.3.1) — skipped heading levels and multiple H1s that break the document outline.
- Frame titles (WCAG 4.1.2) — embedded iframes (video, maps) with no title.
- Table headers (WCAG 1.3.1) — data tables missing
<th>header cells.
EAA readiness panel: checks for a published accessibility statement and a declared document language.
Honest about its limits. Some criteria — colour contrast, keyboard focus order, theme landmarks — depend on rendered styles and can’t be judged from content alone, so we never claim to. Use this to fix what’s findable and pair it with a manual review for full WCAG 2.1 AA / EAA conformance. The free plugin runs entirely on your site and makes no external requests.
NINJA AI Accessibility Pro (optional add-on)
NINJA AI Accessibility Pro (from https://ninja.si — not the WordPress.org directory) adds one-click, AI-assisted remediation (e.g. generating descriptive alt text from each image) and Accessibility Watch — it re-scans on a schedule and emails you when a new publish introduces a barrier or your score drops. Pro is the only part that contacts ninja.si, and only after you register.
