This plugin disables the custom fields metabox that WordPress includes by default. The custom fields metabox includes a slow query, which on large sites can take 10+ seconds.
Do not install this plugin if you rely on the custom fields metabox. If you do not know what this means you should probably not install this plugin. If you are using a plugin such as Advanced Custom Fields, Custom Field Suite or similar to manage your custom fields don’t worry – these plugins will be unaffected.
The custom fields metabox performance is currently being discussed in <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/33885" rel="nofollow ugc">Trac</a>. If you find this plugin useful you may want to follow that ticket.

Custom Block Builder – Lazy Blocks

This plugin is excellent. That's what WordPress team should have done; but will never ever do. Luckily, there are skilled developers to build such needed features. Thanks for making it!

Simply excellent

Lazy Blocks is a great plugin working out of the box, with an amazing user interface and a lot of great options, allowing to build custom rich blocks very easily. 
It's build for developers and documentation is great too.

Almost perfect !

I really like the direction the new Site Editor in Wordpress is developing - building custom blocks for Gutenberg though can be a nightmare. With the Lazyblocks plugin on the other hand this could not be easier! I'm using it in many of my clients websites, when i quickly need to implement a feature using blocks.
And i couldn't help myself getting my hands on the Pro version just to support the development of this awesome piece of software. Full recommendation!

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Brilliant and useful tool!


We have made some advanced blocks mixed with custom PHP functionality and this plugin has saved us a tremendous amount of time. Highly recommend for devs and non devs.


Fantastic Plugin For Developers

Easily create custom blocks and custom meta fields for Gutenberg without hard coding.
