 * Hi,
 * Thanks for the great platform. I use several separate reviews widget on a page.
   I have a paid account and I create them, then copy the paste on my page. Is there
   any difference performance wise using short codes vs html code?
 * The WordPress plugin is only needed with the short code, is that right?
 * Thanks!

 * Hello [@nightfallsonhoboken](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nightfallsonhoboken/),
 * If you have a paid account and you are familiar with inserting plain HTML codes
   into your site, then you do not need the plugin. Using fewer plugins can result
   a faster WP system
 * Feel free to write to us, if you need further assistance,
