Description
ScoreFix helps real visitors — not just your score. It finds common accessibility and UX issues that drag down Google Lighthouse (especially Accessibility), then applies real fixes to your HTML output: meaningful ALT text, labels for controls, and names for links and buttons. No fake overlays, no “accessibility theater.”
Why ScoreFix?
- Business-first language — Issues are explained in terms of conversions, readability, and trust — not jargon.
- Automatic Scan — Surfaces images without ALT, unnamed links/buttons, unlabeled fields, and basic contrast risks.
- ScoreFix Score (0–100) — One number you can track after each scan.
- Apply Fixes (optional) — When you turn fixes on, ScoreFix improves the markup your site outputs. The MVP applies non-destructive runtime fixes (no bulk database rewrites), so you can ship safely.
Who it is for
- Non-technical WordPress owners
- WooCommerce stores
- Small agencies managing client sites
What makes it different
- Not a generic “accessibility widget” — We don’t paint over problems; we address missing names and labels in the actual output.
- Not only a checklist — Scan + prioritized issues + one-click enable for automatic fixes.
- Lighthouse-aligned — Focused on changes that commonly affect Accessibility audits and real users.
Limitations (important)
- ScoreFix does not guarantee legal WCAG compliance or a perfect Lighthouse score.
- Semantic ALT for SEO may still need your editorial judgment.
- Highly dynamic JavaScript-only interfaces may need manual work outside the plugin.
- Extra scan rules (headings, landmarks, tables, media, forms, generic links) are heuristic and may miss issues or flag false positives; tune behavior with filters documented in code where applicable.
Installation
- Upload the plugin folder to
/wp-content/plugins/scorefix/or install the zip from the Plugins screen. - Activate ScoreFix through the Plugins menu.
- Go to Settings ScoreFix, run a scan, then choose whether to enable automatic fixes.
FAQ
-
Will this change my database content?
-
The MVP applies fixes at runtime when “Apply Fixes” is on. It does not bulk-edit posts in the database.
-
Does it work with WooCommerce?
-
Yes — WooCommerce’s
productpost type is included in scans when that post type exists. -
Is this a visual overlay?
-
No. ScoreFix does not rely on overlays to fake compliance.

Changelog
1.0.10
- New: 10 auto‑fix runtime handlers — video, audio, and iframe text alternatives,
grouped control labels, and missing name inferrals for accessibility gaps. - New: AI skill definitions for accessibility, performance, SEO, and WP development.
- Fix: metadata fields, .distignore exclusions, and readme formatting for WordPress.org review.
- Fix: Dashboard page alignment and ImagesRule ALT validation tweaks.
1.0.9
- Skipped — rolled into 1.0.10.
1.0.8
- Misc: maintenance release.
1.0.7
- Misc: maintenance release.
- Updated tested WordPress and PHP versions.
1.0.6
- Score: media library is one bucket (sum of attachment-issue penalties capped at 100), not one bucket per image file — prevents hundreds of “clean” attachments from inflating the overall average when posts still have many issues. Model id
per_page_average_v2.
1.0.5
- Score: new default model
per_page_average_v1— each scanned post, each scanned image attachment, and each distinct rendered URL gets an internal 0–100 from its issues (penalties capped per bucket); the dashboard “Overall score” is the average of those values (still shown as 0–100). Old snapshots withoutscanned_post_idskeep the previous single-sum behaviour. Filters:scorefix_score_context,scorefix_calculated_score.
1.0.4
- Scanner (Phase 5A): local performance heuristics on scanned HTML — images missing width/height (attrs or inline style),
loading="lazy"suggestion with conservative main/first-block heuristic, and high count of<script src>. New issue typesperf_*; glossary + dashboard context “Performance (HTML heuristic)”. Filters:scorefix_collect_performance_heuristics,scorefix_perf_script_src_threshold.
1.0.3
- Rendered HTML scan: always part of a full scan. Background queue (WP-Cron + opening ScoreFix settings) uses built-in limits (
RenderCaptureConfig: timeout, max URLs, batch size) and URL list from defaults + published posts/pages/products; mergesrendered_urlwhen done. No dashboard UI for capture tuning. Filterscorefix_skip_render_url_scanfor edge cases.
1.0.2
- Scanner: optional same-host loopback fetch of rendered public HTML (signed one-time token), merged into scan with source
rendered_url. Settings UI for URLs, timeout, max URLs. Filterscorefix_render_capture_sslverifyfor local dev TLS.
1.0.1
- Scanner: additional DOM heuristics (headings, landmarks, generic link text, form groups/autocomplete/required hints, video/audio/iframe, data tables). Heuristic only — not a WCAG guarantee.
1.0.0
- Initial release: scanner, ScoreFix Score, admin dashboard, runtime fix engine.
