Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Accessibility Checker – WCAG 2.1 AA, EAA & Section 508 Site Audit – QAProof

Not for the first check. Install the plugin, click Check my site, and you get a real score and the issues found on your home page — no account, no API key, no card. An account (free) is what unlocks auditing other pages, seeing every issue rather than the first few, PDF export and scheduled monitoring.

The WordPress plugin is free and open-source (GPL-2.0+). The first check of your site needs no account at all. The QAProof service then has a Free plan: 10 AI generations as a one-time trial — they do not reset monthly — 1 monitor, and 7 days of test history. If you sign up with an email address you get 3 of those 10 until you verify the address; signing in with Google or GitHub gives you all 10 immediately. Paid plans (Pro, Business, Scale) add more generations, monitors and history. Full pricing at qaproof.io/pricing.

No. QAProof adds nothing to your pages and your visitors never see it. Overlays and toolbars try to patch a site from the outside at page load; they are widely rejected by disabled users and by accessibility professionals, and in 2025 the US Federal Trade Commission fined one overlay vendor $1,000,000 over claims about what its script achieved. QAProof does the opposite job. It reads your page, tells you which WCAG success criterion each defect relates to and which element is at fault, and then gets out of the way so the problem can be fixed in your theme or content — where it actually lives.

No, and no automated tool can. It finds the problems that can be detected automatically — a large and useful share of them — but judging whether alt text is meaningful, whether the tab order makes sense, or whether someone using a screen reader can finish a purchase needs a person. EN 301 549, the European Accessibility Act, Section 508 and AgID all expect manual testing alongside automated checks.

Only for Design Fidelity (Figma vs live page). Responsive, Accessibility, Design Audit and Visual Regression need just a URL.

Only what you explicitly submit: the URL of the page you want to test and, for Design Fidelity, the Figma design link. QAProof never reads your post content, user accounts, visitor data, passwords, or any other information from your site. Every request also carries a normal User-Agent identifying the plugin version and your WordPress and PHP versions — the same thing any HTTP client sends — so we can tell which versions are in use when something breaks. Emailed reports carry the address you send them to, and the feedback form carries your WordPress user ID and your site's home URL so we can reply about the right site. The one request that happens without an API key is the first check: when you click Check my site, the plugin sends your site's public home page URL to api.qaproof.io so it can be loaded and audited. Nothing is sent until you click that button.

Results are stored securely in your QAProof account, scoped to your workspace. The plugin itself stores only your settings (API key, saved designs as name + Figma link, notification and test preferences). Test results are not saved to your WordPress database.

Most tests finish in a few minutes (typically 1–5). Design Fidelity: 1–3 minutes. Responsive Testing: 2–4 minutes (5 viewports). Accessibility Audit: 2–5 minutes. Design Audit: 1–3 minutes.

Yes. The plugin can be network-activated, and each site in the network manages its own settings and API key independently. Note that test history lives in the QAProof account behind the API key — sites that share one API key share one test history.

The API rejects it and the plugin shows an error; no test runs until you enter a valid key. You can update your key at any time.
