Can't say much about the linked page but one could read the article[0] about the same topic on Encyclopedia Iranica, which is a better source since it's compiled and edited by scholars in history, linguistics, iranian studies etc. Haven't read them myself but they both mention the epigraphist Grotenfrend at least

The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the World's Ancient Languages: https://www.cambridge.org/ca/universitypress/subjects/langua... (available elsewhere for less...) also has a good chapter on Old Persian.

The chapter on Avestan is also relevant and interesting.
