ClearView: WordPress Accessibility Scanner Plugin

WCAG 2.1 Accessibe + Pre-Publish Reporting

Overview

ClearView is a WordPress plugin that performs automated accessibility audits across all posts and pages. It identifies WCAG 2.1 violations such as missing alt text, improper heading structure, color contrast issues, and missing ARIA attributes, and provides actionable reports directly in the WordPress admin before content is published.

Technical Features

Automated Accessibility Scanning

Analyzes post content, media, and HTML structure for WCAG 2.1 compliance.
Detects alt text issues, heading hierarchy problems, contrast failures, and missing ARIA attributes.
Generates structured reports highlighting severity, location, and remediation suggestions.

Pre-Publish Integration

Hooks into the WordPress publishing workflow to provide real-time accessibility feedback.
Admin notifications and inline warnings prevent publishing inaccessible content.
Optionally enforces accessibility compliance by restricting publish until critical issues are resolved.

Reporting & Dashboard

Displays detailed accessibility summaries in the admin dashboard.
Supports CSV export and filtering by content type, severity, and issue type.
Provides historical reporting for tracking site-wide accessibility improvements.

Plugin Architecture & Security

Modular PHP codebase with clear separation of scanning engine, reporting, and admin UI.
Uses nonces, capability checks, and sanitization to secure all admin-facing interfaces.
Optimized for performance with asynchronous scanning to minimize load on large sites.
