GutSlider – All in One Slider and Carousel Blocks for Gutenberg vs SlideVerse – Slider, Carousel & Image Slider Blocks for Gutenberg

GutSlider is an all-in-one slider and carousel plugin for the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg). It adds a set of native slider blocks so you can build an image slider, content slider, post carousel, video carousel, testimonial slider, logo carousel or a before-after comparison slider directly on the page – no shortcodes, no page builder, no code. Every block is built with native Gutenberg components, so the editing experience feels like WordPress itself. Drag and drop your content, adjust the settings in the sidebar, and see the result live in the editor. Fast by design. GutSlider only loads its scripts and styles on pages where a slider block is actually used, generates a single minified CSS file per page instead of inline tags, and ships without jQuery. Sliding is powered by Swiper JS for smooth, hardware-accelerated transitions. Why Choose GutSlider Slide any content – images, video, text, buttons, headings, or any other block.

Visitors’ IP address and browser user agent are sent to Google as part of that request. No request is made if you only use system or theme fonts.

Choose Auto, Fixed, or Minimum slide height for complete creative freedom over a Swiper-powered carousel. Infinite Slider (Marquee) A continuous, seamless scrolling carousel for logos, partners, text, or any content.

Please review their terms and privacy policies. Swiper.js (unpkg CDN) SlideVerse uses the open-source Swiper.js library to power slider functionality on the front end. The library files (swiper-bundle.min.js and swiper-bundle.min.css) are loaded from the unpkg content delivery network on pages where a slider is displayed. When a slider page loads, the visitor’s browser requests these files from unpkg, which means the visitor’s IP address and browser information are exposed to that service as part of the standard HTTP request. No other data is sent.

These services may set cookies and collect data according to their own policies when the embedded player loads or is played. This only applies when you choose to embed YouTube or Vimeo videos.
