Asteris Blocks

50 free Gutenberg blocks. Full-featured, and free forever.

Asteris Blocks gives you a polished, alphabetised block library covering everything you need to build landing pages, blog posts, and product pages. Every block is complete — nothing is locked behind a paywall, and the plugin never nags you to upgrade.

What you get

• 50 blocks — Hero, Pricing Table, FAQ Accordion (with schema), Recipe Card (with rich results), Comparison Table, Countdown, Cookie Notice, Code Block with syntax highlighter, Image Hotspots, Map (OpenStreetMap), QR Code, Before/After Slider, Table of Contents, and 37 more.
• 12 pre-built patterns — Hero + Stats, Pricing 3-tier, Full landing page, and more — one-click insert.
• 60 block style variations — Hero (minimal / split / gradient), Feature Grid (cards / icons-only / bordered / numbered), Pricing (classic / minimal / bordered / highlighted), and dozens more.
• Newsletter integrations — Mailchimp, MailerLite, ConvertKit, Brevo. API keys encrypted at rest (AES-256-CBC). See “External services” below.
• Schema.org markup — FAQ + Recipe + AggregateRating JSON-LD validates on Google Rich Results Test.
• HTML anchor IDs on every block — link anywhere, jump anywhere.
• Native typography + colour controls on every text-bearing block.
• 100/100 Lighthouse accessibility on Kadence, GeneratePress, Twenty Twenty-Five.

What you do NOT get

• No email-gated features — every one of the 50 blocks is fully functional, free.
• No nag screens, no pop-ups, no “your trial expires” timers in your editor.
• No tracking. No cookies. No analytics. The only outbound connections are the optional third-party services listed under “External services” below, and they run only when you add the relevant block to a page or configure a newsletter provider.

Asteris Blocks is full-featured and free forever — funded by our other products, not by upselling you. If you ever want premium section patterns and pro-level design controls, there’s an optional Asteris Blocks Pro — but the free plugin is complete on its own and never pushes you toward it.

Why Asteris Blocks?

Built lean on purpose. Here’s what you actually get:

1. Tiny footprint — about 215 KB zipped, and it loads zero front-end CSS or JavaScript on pages that don’t use an Asteris block.
2. Only loads where it’s used — the shared stylesheet and script enqueue only on pages where one of your Asteris blocks actually renders. No site-wide weight.
3. No JavaScript framework — blocks render in PHP with tiny vanilla-JS view scripts; no React or jQuery dependency dragged onto your front end.
4. 50 blocks, 12 patterns, 60 style variations — all free — nothing gated, no “premium” lock icons cluttering the inserter.
5. Schema built in — FAQ, Recipe and AggregateRating JSON-LD that validates on Google’s Rich Results Test, no separate SEO plugin required.
6. No phone-home — no tracking, no cookies, no analytics on you. The only outbound calls are blocks you choose to add (Map, Video, embeds) — each documented below.
7. Accessibility-minded — 100/100 Lighthouse accessibility on Kadence, GeneratePress and Twenty Twenty-Five.
8. GPL-2.0 — audit it, fork it, keep it forever.
9. No nag screens — Pro is mentioned once, never a pop-up or a disabled button.

Asteris Blocks Pro

Asteris Blocks is full-featured and free forever. If you want to go further, the optional Asteris Blocks Pro adds:

• 73 premium section patterns — niche page templates (photographer, music artist, conference, salon, fitness), video + audio sections, premium e-commerce layouts.
• The control layer — fine-tune any block’s spacing, responsive visibility, hover states, animations and custom CSS, no code required.
• AI Section Generator — describe a section and get a ready-to-edit block layout.
• Cloud pattern library — one-click insert from a growing hosted collection.

Same lightweight, no-bloat build. See everything included at asterisblocks.com/blocks-pro.
