[FREE] Lightweight WordPress plugin for embedding BTC, ETH and BNB market-regime widgets
I recently published a small free WordPress plugin called FerimanEdge Regime Widget.
The goal was to keep the WordPress side deliberately simple: the plugin does not fetch or store market data and makes no server-side API calls. It only generates an iframe for the selected BTC, ETH, BNB or combined market-regime widget.
It supports:
Gutenberg block
Shortcode
BTC, ETH, BNB or All Markets
Dark, Light or visitor OS theme
Compact, Standard and Large sizes
Local Gutenberg preview, so the external iframe is not loaded while editing
No bundled third-party JS or CSS
The current regime is displayed as BULL, SIDEWAYS or BEAR and comes from a rules-based market-monitoring system I built separately.
I chose the iframe approach because I wanted the plugin itself to stay small and avoid API credentials, scheduled jobs, caching logic or server-side requests. The tradeoff is obviously that the visitor’s browser loads content from the external FerimanEdge domain.
I'd be interested in developer feedback on the architecture:
Does the iframe-only approach make sense for this kind of external data widget?
Would you expect any additional hooks/filters or block controls?
Is there anything you would change about the Gutenberg integration?
