    I’m inserting a tracker shortcode into the main page.
    However, I read that shortcodes are already outdated and work quite slowly.
    What is the shortcodes alternative ?
    Is there a more modern way to paste Guttenberg blocks?

    On reddit ))))) Are these rumors?
    Okay, what’s the best way integrate bbpress with Guttenberg’ blocks today?
    Only shortcodes or some other method…

    So is this one article, or many, is it written by someone with expert knowledge or does it cite some authority?

    reddit is just people chatting, so without anything more substantive, I can’t say, I’ve seen nothing.

    Shortcodes just execute the same code that a block would, just with a different initiation, so hard to see how anyone can say they are slow.

    There’s a flat earth community on reddit as well 🙂

    Good.
    I’m glad that shortcuts still work great in Gutenberg and special blocks aren’t to need 🙂

    🙂 not as far as I know – many thousands of plugins use shortcodes, and WP would create massive issues if they stopped them.
