WPBakery

WPBakery is an older WordPress page builder that stores layouts as shortcodes.

It came bundled with thousands of premium themes for years. Many business sites still run it. If your editor is full of square brackets, this is likely why.

Turn it off and the page shows those brackets instead of a layout. That makes leaving feel impossible, which is a form of lock-in.

Think Bright Sites rebuilds from the page visitors see. The shortcodes never enter the picture. You get clean HTML with your content.
