Test WordPress Accessibility with Access Monitor

While WP Accessibility helps improve WordPress accessibility compliance, Access Monitor schedules different types of accessibility tests within your WordPress dashboard. Now, you can save and compare test results instead of depending on external web apps such as WAVE.Webaim.org.

Accessibility is becoming a more known aspect of overall website performance whether you’re using our Nginx-powered WordPress Hosting or third-party integrations to enhance user experience.

Below we’ll cover the following:

• Install Access Monitor
• Register Tenon.io Account
• Accessibility Reports
