Why WordPress is not accessible by default
WordPress is the world’s most used CMS – but accessibility is not standard. Many themes and plugins do not meet WCAG requirements.
-
Accessibility is not a plugin issue
-
Themes & page builders often not compliant
-
Mandatory from June 28, 2025
Especially for e-commerce, public sector, or educational offers, digital accessibility is mandatory. Otherwise, fines of up to €100,000 may apply.
The BFSG also obliges WordPress-based websites to ensure full accessibility from June 2025.
SiteCockpit extends your WordPress site with accessible features and audits – directly integrated, legally compliant, and GDPR-ready.
Your WordPress site needs an update.
Accessibility is not “nice to have” – it’s mandatory.
