User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the plugin for its simplicity, lightweight nature, and seamless integration with the block editor (Gutenberg). It allows for easy customization through CSS and offers various headline types, assisting with SEO. Users find it ideal for creating responsive FAQ sections, 'More...' buttons, and other accordion-like functions without the bloat of unnecessary features. However, the plugin displays some performance issues, such as glitches in Chrome and Edge, and difficulties with smooth transitions. Additionally, some users experienced problems with color changes and content insertion. Despite these drawbacks, the overall sentiment is positive, valuing its ease of use, clean design, and essential functionality.

I used this block with some custom CSS styling to create a responsive frequently asked questions area of a site.

Nice block editor integration, super easy to use. I like the opportunity to pick different headline types for each accordeon block what helps doing SEO. This topic was modified 1 year, 8 months ago by Sofi-Soao.

Does the job quite well. Simple and straight forward. However, it would be nice to smooth the movement (there’s some kind of small jump at the end of the opening and the beginning of the closing)

Great plugin, but it often won’t work in Chrome or Edge, and often randomly will work. a bit glitchy! We have the LiteSpeed Cache Plugin and is probably an issue with the combine CCS or JS.
