WordPress Plugin

Introduction

With the AAArdvark WordPress plugin, you can seamlessly access your site’s statistics and recent activities directly from your WordPress dashboard. This integration is perfect for agencies and freelancers who want to provide clients with a summary screenshot of the site accessibility performance without creating a separate AAArdvark account.

To make the most of AAArdvark’s features, please install our browser extension (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox). This enables Visual Mode, letting you review accessibility issues in a highly interactive way.
