Features
The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.
- Tiny footprint — about 215 KB zipped, and it loads zero front-end CSS or JavaScript on pages that don’t use an Asteris block
- Only loads where it’s used — the shared stylesheet and script enqueue only on pages where one of your Asteris blocks actually renders. No site-wide weight
- No JavaScript framework — blocks render in PHP with tiny vanilla-JS view scripts; no React or jQuery dependency dragged onto your front end
- 50 blocks, 12 patterns, 60 style variations — all free — nothing gated, no “premium” lock icons cluttering the inserter
- Schema built in — FAQ, Recipe and AggregateRating JSON-LD that validates on Google’s Rich Results Test, no separate SEO plugin required
- No phone-home — no tracking, no cookies, no analytics on you. The only outbound calls are blocks you choose to add (Map, Video, embeds) — each documented below
- Accessibility-minded — 100/100 Lighthouse accessibility on Kadence, GeneratePress and Twenty Twenty-Five
- GPL-2.0 — audit it, fork it, keep it forever
- No nag screens — Pro is mentioned once, never a pop-up or a disabled button

Many blocks, but limited customization
I liked the large amount of blocks, although they seem to be a little bit unfinished at times and they cannot be customized a lot. Also missing are some comfort features, like having a color picker.Some things like how the cookie notice banner actually works, are a little bit unclear.
