Description
Latest version of wordpress.
When editing a page in gutenberg there is a select-element where you can select the parent of this page.
The select is populated using the wp rest api / ajax.
The problem is that each pages content is rendered. This means that also shortcodes in pages are executed.
So lets say that you have 100 pages and each page has a shortcode that takes 1 second, it would take 100 seconds to load ...
Gutenberg does not need the content of the pages to populate the select, all it needs imho is ID, Title, Menu Order, Parent
Another problem with this is that if one shortcode has faulty code in it, it could make the rest api crash and gutenberg would be unable to populate the dropdown.
