Improving Joomla 4 accessibility is painless and fast. No third party plugins required to get started. All you need to do is enable the web accessibility plugin that’s already included in your installation.

## Enable Joomla 4 Accessibility Features

1. Log into your Joomla 4 administrator dashboard (e.g. https://example.com/administrator).
2. Select **System** from the sidebar.
3. Under *Manage*, select **Plugins**.
4. Search for “System – Additional Accessibility Features” and select the “X” to enable the plugin. You should now see an ![Joomla Accessibility icon](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/joomla-accessibility-icon.png) accessibility icon in the lower-left corner of your administrator dashboard.
5. We recommend enabling the features for the front-end of your website as well. To do this, select the plugin name.
6. In the *Site Section* drop-down menu, select **Both**.
7. At the top, **Save & Close**.
