Description
Focusable is a lightweight, plug-and-play WordPress plugin that displays a beautiful, customizable focus ring around interactive elements as users navigate with the keyboard. Many themes remove or hide the default focus outline, making it difficult for keyboard and assistive technology users to know where they are on the page. Focusable solves this problem in seconds—no coding required.
Key Benefits:

– Works with any theme, even if the default focus outline is removed.
– Customizable transition and appearance via plugin settings.

- Keyboard navigation support out of the box
- Customizable ring style and transition
- Lightweight and fast—no bloat
