What it does
Many visitors find a typical website hard to use. Small text, low color contrast or a layout that only works well with a mouse can shut out people with low vision, color blindness or limited mobility. This plugin gives those visitors a way to adjust the site to their own needs. It places an accessibility toolbar on your pages, and from that menu each visitor can change font size, pick a contrast mode or turn on screen reader support without affecting how the site looks for anyone else.
Setup is designed for WordPress users of any skill level, and configuration needs no coding. The plugin also improves keyboard navigation for people who browse without a mouse, and it is built to work across a wide range of WordPress themes and third-party plugins. It suits blogs, online stores and company sites alike, and it can be part of your work toward accessibility guidelines such as WCAG and the ADA, alongside a review of your own content and design.
Best for
- Site owners working toward WCAG or ADA accessibility guidelines
- Blogs, online stores and corporate sites with broad audiences
- Freelancers and agencies adding accessibility tools to client sites

Keyboard navigation
Improved keyboard navigation makes the site easier to use for people who move through pages with a keyboard only, following common accessibility practices.
On-page accessibility toolbar
A menu on each page lets visitors choose the accessibility settings that suit them, so every person can tailor the experience to their own preferences.

Questions about Readabler
What can visitors change with the accessibility toolbar?
The toolbar lets visitors resize text, switch between several color contrast modes and turn on screen reader support. These choices apply to their own browsing, so each person can set up the page in a way that suits their vision or reading needs.
Does it help people who do not use a mouse?
Yes. Readabler includes keyboard navigation improvements aimed at visitors who move through a site using only the keyboard. This follows common accessibility practices and makes menus and content easier to reach without a pointing device.
Will it work with my current theme and other plugins?
The plugin is designed to work with a wide range of WordPress themes and third-party plugins without conflicts. That makes it a reasonable fit for an existing site where you want to add accessibility tools without rebuilding your design.
Do I need coding skills to set it up?
No coding is required. Readabler is built for WordPress users of all skill levels, and its features are configured through the plugin's settings rather than through custom code or template edits.
