 * Hey team, i wanted to use shortcode plugins. But there are some question in my
   mind.
    Does shortcodes affect SEO?? For example: If I add H1 Heading via a shortcode
   box, it will be crawlable by google bots as H1? Or it will be only loaded after
   users scroll down? same with Boxes, PRO Cons, Tables etc/?? All these shortcodes
   data is crawlable by Google? Shortcodes add schema for better SEO or its just
   for User Experience? Does google is able to read data/paragraph inside a shortcode?

 * [@akiraanastasia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/akiraanastasia/) Typically
   using shortcodes doesn’t affect Google’s ability to crawl content of a page, 
   as in the end the actual rendered page is still in HTML. We can’t speak for every
   plugin though. If you have specific questions about a certain plugin and how 
   it’s content is rendered and crawled by Google, we’d recommend contacting the
   plugin developer directly.
