| Pros | Visitor toolbar widget; Alt text checks in the media library; Each fix can be turned on or off | Shows accessibility issues directly on the page; Only loads for logged-in administrators; Filter allows other roles to be added |
| Cons | Does not make a site meet accessibility guidelines, per the author; Many fixes depend on the theme's markup; Needs review against the target WCAG level | Visual aid only; it does not produce a report; Does not replace manual or screen reader testing; Front-end overlay is for administrators, not visitors |
