Lumtera 1.0 · Free + Pro

Find and fix accessibility problems while you write.

Lumtera checks your posts, pages and products against WCAG 2.2 level A and AA. Each issue appears next to the block that caused it, with a plain-language fix. Many issues have a one-click fix. Lumtera is not an overlay: it adds nothing to your site for visitors. It helps you fix the content itself.

## Tools in the free plugin

Alt text manager

Every image in the Media Library on one screen. Describe an image once and add the text to the posts that use it.

Guided manual checks

Nine step-by-step checks for what no tool can test, such as keyboard use and zoom, with results saved on each page.

Page builders & custom fields

Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Bricks, Oxygen and WPBakery layouts, and Advanced Custom Fields values, checked from their real output.

AI suggestions

Optional and off by default: alt text, link text, headings and plain-language summaries. A person approves every one.

Site fixes

Small server-side fixes for common theme problems: skip link, focus ring, zoom and more. Each one is off by default.

Accessibility statement

A draft statement page that follows the W3C structure and includes the sections the EAA needs.

Permissions

Choose which roles see the reports, dismiss errors and use review mode.

Weekly email summary

Optional. Your score and how it changed, top issues and pages that got worse, sent by your own site.

Independent studies put it at between a third and a half of real barriers. A score of 100 in Lumtera means "no automated issues found", never "compliant".
