Siteimprove Accessibility Plug-in – Ensure Digital Accessibility Where it Matters Most
Siteimprove now offers a powerful plug-in for Drupal, empowering contributors to identify, prioritize, and remediate web accessibility issues directly in the CMS page editor. Unlike accessibility overlays that claim to offer one-click compliance, but fail to address underlying issues, Siteimprove’s Accessibility Plugin provides a real solution—fixing issues at the source.
Reduce manual effort with Siteimprove’s automated fixes and clear remediation
steps (ADA and WCAG standard compliant), and give your content team real-time
guidance to improve accessibility before issues go live.
How this differs from the established siteimprove module?
Siteimprove provides the classic Siteimprove CMS sidebar/overlay inside Drupal, surfacing multiple products (Accessibility, QA, SEO, Policies, etc.) and “Recheck” flows during editing.
Siteimprove Accessibility is accessibility-only, using Siteimprove’s latest automated engine to highlight & remediate accessibility issues right where editors work.
Can they run together?
Yes. They are complementary: keep siteimprove for the multi-product sidebar and use siteimprove_accessibility for in-editor accessibility remediation
