SiteFix is different. While other accessibility plugins slap a widget overlay on your site (which is NOT WCAG-compliant), SiteFix actually fixes accessibility issues in the backend — the way it should be done.
Why Overlay Widgets Are Not WCAG Compliant
Accessibility overlays like AccessiBe, UserWay, and similar tools add a floating widget that tries to „fix“ accessibility on the client side. The problem? WCAG 2.1 requires that content be natively accessible — not patched with JavaScript overlays. Courts have consistently ruled that overlays don’t satisfy ADA requirements.
SiteFix takes the correct approach: server-side fixes that modify your actual HTML output.
8 Free Automatic Fixes
- 🖼️ Smart Alt Text — Context-aware alt text from filenames, attachment titles, and captions. Not just filename dumps.
- 📑 Heading Hierarchy — Fixes skipped heading levels (H1H3 becomes H1H2H3). Multi-pass with loop protection.
- 🔗 Link Accessibility — ARIA labels for empty links, rel=“noopener noreferrer“ for external links, generic link text detection.
- 📝 Form Labels — Auto-injects aria-label on inputs, selects, and textareas without associated labels.
- 📊 Table Headers — Adds scope=“col“ to th elements and role=“table“ for screen readers.
- 🏷️ ARIA Landmarks — Adds roles (navigation, main, contentinfo, banner, complementary) to theme elements.
- 🌐 Language Attribute — Ensures the html tag has a proper lang attribute set.
- 🎯 Focus & Skip Links — Visible :focus-visible outlines and skip-to-content link for keyboard navigation.
Compliance Badge (Free)
Display a real-time compliance badge on your frontend showing:
- Accessibility score (0-100) based on actual scan results
- Which protections are active (green ✓) or inactive (red ✗)
- Compliance status for WCAG 2.1 AA, ADA (US), EAA (EU), AODA (Canada), EN 301 549
- Toggle on/off from the dashboard — no code needed
- Links back to your site as „Powered by SiteFix“ (great for awareness)
This is NOT a fake seal. The badge reflects your real scan results and active fixes.

SOS
-
Why are accessibility overlays not WCAG compliant?
-
WCAG 2.1 requires content to be natively accessible in the source HTML. Overlay widgets try to patch accessibility with client-side JavaScript, which doesn’t modify the actual DOM served to assistive technologies. Multiple US courts have ruled that overlays alone don’t satisfy ADA requirements. SiteFix modifies the actual HTML output server-side.
-
Will SiteFix slow down my site?
-
No. All core fixes are PHP content filters that run server-side before HTML reaches the browser. The only client-side JS is a lightweight MutationObserver (< 2KB) for dynamic content like Elementor popups. Zero CLS impact.
-
Does SiteFix work with Elementor, Divi, and other page builders?
-
Yes. SiteFix hooks into WordPress content filters (
the_content,widget_text) which catch output from all page builders. For dynamically loaded content (AJAX popups, lazy-loaded sections), the MutationObserver handles fixes in real-time. -
What is the European Accessibility Act (EAA)?
-
The EAA is an EU directive requiring all e-commerce websites to be accessible by June 28, 2025. Non-compliance can result in fines. SiteFix addresses the most common violations automatically. More info.
-
What is ADA compliance for websites?
-
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title III has been interpreted by courts to include websites. Thousands of lawsuits are filed annually against non-compliant sites. The most common issues — missing alt text, poor headings, inaccessible forms — are exactly what SiteFix fixes. ADA web guidance.
-
What compliance standards does SiteFix cover?
-
WCAG 2.1 Level AA (international standard), ADA (US), European Accessibility Act (EU), AODA (Canada), and EN 301 549 (EU ICT standard). These standards significantly overlap — meeting WCAG 2.1 AA covers the technical requirements of all of them.
-
What’s the difference between Free and Pro?
-
Free includes 8 automatic fixes and the compliance badge — enough for most sites to reach 90+ Lighthouse scores. Pro adds AI-powered alt text, advanced contrast fixing, PDF checks, downloadable compliance reports, legal templates, scheduled scans, and custom badge styling.
-
Does the compliance badge guarantee legal compliance?
-
No badge or tool can guarantee legal compliance. The badge shows your current accessibility status based on automated scans. SiteFix addresses 80-90% of common WCAG violations automatically, but we recommend a professional manual audit for full legal assurance.
-
How does the accessibility score work?
-
The score (0-100) is weighted across 10 categories: images (15%), headings (12%), links (12%), forms (12%), contrast (12%), focus (10%), ARIA (10%), badge (7%), tables (5%), language (5%). You get full points when a fix is enabled AND no issues remain, partial points when the fix is active but issues persist in your source content.
-
Can I disable the frontend badge?
-
Yes. The badge has its own toggle on the dashboard. Turn it off and no badge appears on your site. You can also change its position (bottom-right, bottom-left, top-right, top-left) in Settings.
-
Does SiteFix modify my database or post content?
-
No. All fixes are applied at runtime through WordPress filters. Your actual post content in the database is never modified. Deactivate the plugin and everything reverts to its original state.
