Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records AccessiBar — Accessibility Toolbar version 1.0.1 as active, updated 8mo ago and tested up to WordPress 6.9.
Overview
About this plugin
AccessiBar adds a floating accessibility button to your website. When visitors click it, a compact toolbar appears with tools that let them adjust the site to their needs — increase font size, enable high contrast mode, switch to a dyslexia-friendly font, and more.
Why AccessiBar?
Many accessibility plugins have moved to a SaaS model — requiring subscriptions, limiting free features behind paywalls, making external API calls, and raising GDPR concerns. AccessiBar takes a different approach:
No paywalls. Every feature works without any subscription or premium tier.
Zero external requests. No CDNs, no third-party APIs, no Google Fonts. Everything runs locally from your server.
GDPR-compliant by design. No cookies are set. User preferences are stored in the browser’s localStorage — no data ever leaves the visitor’s device.
Zero dependencies. Works with any WordPress theme and page builder — no Elementor, no Divi, no specific theme required.
No server-side processing. No database tables, no server load, no SQL queries. Everything runs in the visitor’s browser.
Lightweight. Under 45KB total frontend footprint (CSS + JS + font). Your site stays fast.
Keyboard accessible. The toolbar itself is fully navigable with Tab, Enter, and Escape keys, with proper ARIA attributes and focus management.
Toolbar Features:
Font Size Controls — Increase, decrease, or reset the page font size.
High Contrast Mode — Dark background with light text and highlighted links for better readability.
Highlight Links — Makes all links visually distinct with outlines and underlines.
Readable Font — Switches to OpenDyslexic, a typeface designed for readers with dyslexia. The font file is bundled locally.
Stop Animations — Disables all CSS animations and transitions for visitors with motion sensitivities.
Large Cursor — Increases the mouse cursor size for easier tracking.
All preferences are remembered across page loads via localStorage.
