GutSlider – All in One Slider and Carousel Blocks for Gutenberg vs Splide Carousel Block

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.
