BlockGlow extends the WordPress Block Editor with tools for customizing, optimizing, and protecting your website.<\/p>\n\n
Originally built as a per-block Custom CSS solution for Gutenberg, BlockGlow has evolved into a lightweight toolkit for block customization, performance optimization, and spam protection.<\/p>\n\n
Features include:<\/p>\n\n
BlockGlow adds a \"BlockGlow \u2014 Custom CSS\" panel to the inspector of Gutenberg blocks.<\/p>\n\n
Use the Custom CSS editor to apply styles to an individual block without affecting other instances of the same block.<\/p>\n\n
Features include:<\/p>\n\n
BlockGlow includes performance tools designed to help improve page loading and Core Web Vitals.<\/p>\n\n
Current optimization features include:<\/p>\n\n
When LCP preload is enabled, BlockGlow can detect the LCP resource for a page and save the resource URL for subsequent preloading.<\/p>\n\n
BlockGlow includes optional protection features designed to help reduce automated spam submissions and registrations.<\/p>\n\n
Current protection features include:<\/p>\n\n
These protection features can be enabled and configured from the BlockGlow administration area.<\/p>\n\n
BlockGlow optionally integrates with Cloudflare Turnstile to provide spam and abuse protection for supported Simple Membership forms.<\/p>\n\n
Cloudflare Turnstile is only used when the Cloudflare Turnstile protection feature is enabled and configured by the site administrator.<\/p>\n\n
When enabled, BlockGlow loads the Cloudflare Turnstile JavaScript from Cloudflare's servers. When a user interacts with a protected form, Turnstile generates a verification token. BlockGlow sends the token to Cloudflare's Turnstile verification service to verify the request.<\/p>\n\n

Cloudflare Privacy Policy:\nhttps:\/\/www.cloudflare.com\/privacypolicy\/<\/p>\n\n
Cloudflare Terms of Service:\nhttps:\/\/www.cloudflare.com\/terms\/<\/p>\n\n
Please review Cloudflare's documentation and policies for information about how Cloudflare processes data when Turnstile is used.<\/p>\n\n
BlockGlow creates a unique BlockGlow ID for each block instance and uses it to scope custom CSS.<\/p>\n\n
For example:<\/p>\n\n
`\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n[data-blockglow-id=\"bg-xxxxxxx\"] h2 {\n color: red;\n}\n `<\/p>\n\n
The CSS is scoped to the individual block instance so that styles do not unintentionally affect other blocks.<\/p>\n\n
You can also use &<\/code> as a shorthand for the BlockGlow wrapper in the Custom CSS editor.<\/p>\n\nExample:<\/p>\n\n
`\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n& .my-class {\n color: red;\n}\n `<\/p>\n\n
BlockGlow automatically replaces &<\/code> with the appropriate BlockGlow selector for the editor preview and front-end output.<\/p>\n\nSupport<\/h3>\n\n
BlockGlow is actively developed with a focus on helping WordPress users enhance, optimize, and protect their WordPress websites.<\/p>\n\n
Feature requests, bug reports, and suggestions are welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n
