AccessIQ is a WordPress plugin that runs entirely inside the WordPress admin dashboard, giving site owners three tools in one: a WCAG 2.1/2.2 accessibility scanner, self-hosted click heatmaps, and behavior analytics — with no external services or per-scan credits required on the free tier.

The scanner analyzes the final rendered HTML of a page (so it works with Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, and Gutenberg regardless of how the page was built), assigns a 0–100 compliance score against WCAG Level A/AA/AAA, flags the specific elements causing violations, and tracks score history over time. A frontend accessibility widget adds visitor-facing controls such as font-size adjustment, high-contrast mode, a dyslexia-friendly font, and keyboard navigation support.

Alongside accessibility, AccessIQ includes self-hosted click heatmaps and session/behavior analytics (device breakdown, top pages, bounce-rate alerts) that the vendor states run without cookies and without collecting IP addresses, usernames, or emails. The company positions this as a fix-oriented alternative to overlay-widget tools like UserWay or AudioEye, which add visitor display controls but do not resolve the underlying code issues.

Paid Pro tiers add PDF compliance reporting (including white-label reports), an AI-assisted alt-text generator and ARIA-label writer (using third-party AI providers), a multi-site management hub, and priority support. The plugin is distributed through WordPress.org with billing handled via Freemius, Stripe, and PayPal.

Key Features

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Free plan includes unlimited WCAG scans, heatmaps, and behavior analytics with no scan credits or expiry
  • Runs self-hosted inside WordPress, so no external accounts or added third-party trackers are required for the core scanner and heatmaps
  • Works with page builders (Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Gutenberg) since it scans final rendered HTML
  • Vendor states the analytics tracker is under 3KB, loads asynchronously, and avoids collecting PII or setting cookies
  • Paid tiers are inexpensive relative to typical compliance-reporting SaaS ($59/year Starter Pro, $149/year Agency Pro)

Cons

  • WordPress-only — not usable on non-WordPress sites
  • Detects and flags violations but does not auto-fix most issues; only heading hierarchy and ARIA labels get automated fixes, and only on paid tiers
  • AI alt-text generation depends on third-party AI providers (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, Groq), so quality and cost may vary by provider
  • No public information about the company or team behind the plugin was found, which may matter for compliance-sensitive buyers
  • Agency Pro tier is listed as 'coming soon', so top-tier unlimited-site licensing was not yet available to confirm at review time
