To Use TOC Block Or TOC Plugin? That is the question .

In recent times, Google, other search engines, and the SEO world have increased their attention and narrative on the subject of page load speed in order to improve website user's experience. Apparently, WordPress has been losing its lead in this area.
It might not seem like it to the new user, but the block editor is one way in which WP is improving its performance.
One of the areas that impact page load speed is the design of plugins. Apparently, in general, blocks create more efficient code than is rendered by most plugins. Over time some plugins will become redundant as blocks are created that replace them. There will always be useful plugins but some functionality will likely be replaced by new blocks.
During the second half of 2020, with this realisation I went through my plugins and discovered that WordPress had a block for creating a Table of Contents. A TOC Block. I'd been using a plugin for this so created a test site on a siterubix subdomain to experiment and learn (I was still using the classic editor on my own site at the time). After a week of playing at "try out the blocks", I jumped down from sitting on the fence and switched to the block editor on my own site. However ...
The WP TOC Block didn't do what I wanted ... I asked the community for ideas and Phil (@Feigner) suggested trying Kadence Blocks because he had been looking at theme options and in the process remembered seeing a set of blocks, built by Kadence Themes, that included a TOC block.
So I tried it ... and liked it ...
Over time various members have been asking how to create a Table Of Contents ... so I've created a video training to show how to use the Kadence TOC Block. The training can also serve as an introduction to the WP Block editor for those who haven't tried it out yet.
If you're uncomfortably sitting on the fence between classic and block editor, or simply haven't taken a look yet ... here's an opportunity to take a look at a practical solution for a common problem ...
