Frequently asked questions
Still have questions? Find quick answers about AccessMate, how it works, and what you can do with it.
-
What is AccessMate?
AccessMate is a free WordPress accessibility plugin that helps you find and understand accessibility issues on your website. It scans your pages using axe-core, identifies issues against selected accessibility standards, provides detailed reports and guided fixes, and includes an optional accessibility toolbar for your visitors.
-
Will AccessMate work with my WordPress theme or page builder?
AccessMate is designed to work with WordPress websites and does not require a specific theme or page builder. The scanner checks rendered pages, so what you see is what gets tested. If you hit an edge case with a specific theme/builder, contact us and we’ll help troubleshoot.
-
Does AccessMate make my website WCAG compliant?
No automated tool can guarantee that a website is fully WCAG compliant. AccessMate helps you identify many common accessibility issues automatically, but automated testing cannot detect everything.
-
Does AccessMate make my website WCAG compliant?
No automated tool can guarantee that a website is fully WCAG compliant. AccessMate helps you identify many common accessibility issues automatically, but automated testing cannot detect everything.
For a more complete accessibility assessment, combine automated scanning with manual testing, keyboard testing, and testing with assistive technologies such as screen readers.
-
What accessibility standards does AccessMate support?
AccessMate supports WCAG 2.0, WCAG 2.1, WCAG 2.2, Section 508, and Best Practice rulesets. You can select the standard or combination of rules you want to use when scanning your site.
-
Do I need an AI API key to use AccessMate?
No. You can use AccessMate’s accessibility scanner, reports, and visitor toolbar without AI.
AI is completely optional. If you want AI-powered fix suggestions, explanations, or other AI features, you can connect your own API key from supported providers such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, or use a local Ollama setup.
-
Does AccessMate send my website data to its servers?
No. AccessMate does not require your website data to pass through AccessMate’s servers.
When you use an AI feature, your WordPress site communicates directly with the AI provider you have configured using your own API key. AccessMate does not proxy those requests through its own servers. -
Is my AI API key secure?
Your API key is encrypted before it is stored in your WordPress database and is not exposed in client-side code or API responses. AccessMate uses your site’s WordPress authentication salt for encryption.
-
Does AccessMate replace a professional accessibility audit?
No. AccessMate is a testing and remediation aid, not a replacement for a comprehensive accessibility audit.
Automated testing is useful for finding repeatable, machine-detectable issues, but some accessibility problems require human judgment and testing with real assistive technologies.For agencies and accessibility professionals, AccessMate can be used as part of a broader accessibility testing workflow.
-
Is AccessMate really 100% free? What’s the catch?
Yes — the plugin is completely free, with no credit card, no trial expiry, and no locked “pro” features. The only optional cost is if you choose to connect an AI provider (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, or Ollama) for fix suggestions — you use your own API key, so you pay that provider directly for what you use. We may introduce paid add-ons in the future, but the core plugin will always remain free.
-
I’m not technical. Can I still use AccessMate?
Yes. Installation takes under a minute, no coding is required, and the plugin explains each issue in plain English. The AI fix suggestions give you copy-paste-ready code, and if you’d rather hand it to a developer, the audit report export gives them everything they need. If you’re ever stuck, reach out — we’re happy to walk you through it.
