Fantastic Customer Service, Fast Loading System

Like their name says, they are the fastest loading comment system I’ve seen that isn’t self-hosted. I used disqus until I found out they were tracking users, then I switched to hyvor, but it started getting slow and extremely pricey (like US$40 a month) when my site traffic crossed 100k monthly page loads. I initially switched to FastComments for their more reasonable pricing but ended up extremely impressed by it.

First, their customer service is amazing. I asked for help with migrating from hyvor and Devon helped me with the entire importing process, including building additional functionalities into FastComments to import Page Reactions.

Second, the comment widget is highly customizable with a combination of css and javascript. I could control the font and spacing of the elements with some simple css, and implement javascript to switch between day/night modes along with the rest of the webpage.

Most importantly, is the speed. I have a static website, so it loads extremely quickly, and it was always the loading of the third-party comment section that bogged it down. With FastComments, I no longer have visitors complaining that the comments don’t load because they’re on a 25kbps internet connection.

Overall, I am very happy with my decision to choose FastComments for my site and highly recommend it.
