CrispyCohd Advanced Accordion Block provides a flexible, block-based accordion for the WordPress editor.
Built to align with WCAG 2.2 and WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices for accordions.
The accordion is built using normal blocks:
<ul>
<li>Header area: add any blocks you want</li>
<li>Content area: add any blocks you want</li>
<li>Optional divider between the two</li>
</ul>
The block supports two animation styles, slide and fade. 
It also supports a built-in caret, a custom SVG, or a custom image for the toggle icon.
Accessibility is a core focus of the block. The front-end output includes a dedicated toggle button, keyboard navigation, ARIA relationships, and reduced motion support.

Advanced Accordion Gutenberg Block – Create Beautiful FAQs, Content Accordions & Interactive Tabs

The colour picker does not support the colour palettes of the theme.json. Furthermore, the plugin unfortunately does not keep its core promises. According to the description, the plugin does not use any frameworks and pure vanilla Javascript. However, dashicons are loaded in the frontend for the icons - from a PageSpeed perspective, individual SVGs would be a much better choice here. Furthermore, the Javascript was written with jQuery dependency, so jQuery is mandatory and loaded in the frontend. So there is no question of Pure Vanilla Javascript here.

Not as exptected

When ever the plugin is updated the accordions used in pages show a message saying "Block contains unexpected or invalid content." and a button inciting us to recover the block.  When the button is clicked, the group accordion block disappears with all the content and one has to start all over from scratch.... not an optimal solution.

Unfortunately keeps breaking on updates

Create stunning FAQ & accordion blocks. SEO-optimized, fully accessible, zero performance impact. No coding needed.
