Could be better

    Pros: Very easy to configure, there is a possibility of styling.

    Cons: There is no option to translate preset lines in the comment widget itself into other languages (lines like “Write a comment…” and others). I couldn’t translate through implementation of third-party JS.

    Not enough margin settings.

    The widget is inserted into the site via JavaScript (as dynamically loaded content with its own HTML structure, including <html>, <head> tags, etc.), this can create some difficulties for search engines. This violates W3C standards and search engines may ignore such markup or consider it erroneous.

    Google performs two-stage rendering: it first scans static HTML code and then renders the page by executing JavaScript. This means that content loaded via JavaScript (in the context of the Telegram Comments widget) will be indexed, but with a delay because rendering requires more resources.

    Other search engines (such as Bing) have less support for JavaScript rendering, and the subloaded content may be ignored.

    P.S. Search engines may not associate comments with the page because they are being subloaded from an external comments.app domain. This reduces their SEO value.

    The plugin simply renders the widget provided by Telegram. The plugin has no control over the output or styling of the widget as Telegram renders it in an iframe. Options are limited by Telegram, not by the plugin.
