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.

Everything you need to build a complete website:
<ul>
<li>Accordion / FAQ: Create interactive, collapsible content areas.</li>
<li>Tabs Panel: Organize your content into a space-saving tabbed interface.</li>
<li>Pricing Table: Build clean pricing columns for your products and services.</li>
<li>Call to Action (CTA): Drive user engagement with customizable layouts.</li>

⚡ Built for Performance & Modern Web Standards 
* Zero Bloat & Zero jQuery: No heavy libraries. 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.
<h3>External Services</h3>
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. 
* WhatsApp Terms of Service: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/terms-of-service

If you are embedding Youtube video(s) into your site then you will need this plugin. As you may (or may not) know the default Youtube embed code is not responsive and in order to load the player itself your browser has to download more than 1MB of data from Youtube’s servers. That is way too much and this is the reason why we made this plugin. A video player has to be lightweight and responsive. Period.
This plugin is replacing the default Youtube player with the video’s high quality thumbnail and a play button. The real player and the video won’t load until you click on the play button or the thumbnail itself. With this easy trick you will have a much lighter and faster website and the thumbnail + the actual player will be responsive too.
Our plugin is only 60KB without any extra library or unnecessary function.
If you are speed-optimizing your site or if you want to reduce the loading times of your pages then you are at the right place.
<h3>This plugin will:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Make all of the embedded Youtube videos responsive automatically</li>
<li>Will reduce the size of your pages (where you have embedded videos)</li>
<li>Will make your site faster</li>
<li>Will improve the user experience</li>
</ul>
<h3>You can also:</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Manually insert a different thumbnail for each embedded video with the ‘thumb_url’ parameter.
[youtube_embed url=”video_url” thumb-url=”custom_thumb_url”]
</li>
<li>
Manually set a different width for each video with the ‘width’ parameter.
[youtube_embed url=”video_url” width=”50″]
</li>
<li>
Manually align each video to left, right or center with the ‘align’ parameter.
[youtube_embed url=”video_url” align=”center”]
</li>
<li>
Disable the related videos
</li>
<li>Disable the video controls</li>
<li>Disable the fullscreen option</li>
<li>Align the videos globally or individually</li>
<li>Set the custom video width for all videos or to just a single video with a shortcode parameter</li>
</ul>
<h3>Comparison</h3>
Here’s a quick comparison with the built-in TwentySeventeen theme (without any other plugin).
We placed a default Youtube video embed code in a new and empty page, ran the tests and then replaced it with our solution before running the tests again.
Total page size with the traditional Youtube embed code: 2.18MB 
Total page size with our lightweight & responsive embedder: 472KB
Page load time with the traditional Youtube embed code: 5.33s 
Page load time with our lightweight & responsive embedder: 2.52s
