Description
Welcome to Brutal Blocks, a clean and lightweight block collection for the WordPress editor.
We believe that adding functional elements to your site shouldn’t mean sacrificing page speed. That’s why Brutal Blocks is built on a streamlined architecture. Assets are conditionally loaded —meaning CSS and JS are only enqueued if a block is actually used on the page. Enjoy fluid layouts that adapt to any device without the bloat.
Whether you are a blogger, a freelance designer, or an agency, this plugin gives you the native tools to build modern layouts right inside the core WordPress editor.
🚀 Available Blocks

⚡ Built for Performance & Modern Web Standards
* Zero Bloat: CSS and JS are only loaded when absolutely necessary.
* Server-Side Rendering: PHP renders ensure your blocks don’t break with markup changes.
* Fluid Responsiveness: Lightweight CSS rendering so your blocks look flawlessly proportioned automatically.
External Services
This plugin utilizes the WhatsApp API (api.whatsapp.com) within the Social Share block.
When a user clicks the WhatsApp sharing button, they are redirected to the WhatsApp service to share the current post’s title and URL. This is a standard sharing link; no personal data, cookies, or tracking information are collected or transmitted to WhatsApp by this plugin.
