 * I’m making a quick contact form with WPForms Lite. For better replies, do you
   suggest keeping phone number as optional, or is it better to ask only for name,
   email, and message?

 * Hi [@urmirun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/urmirun/) ,
 * Thanks for reaching out! 
 * For most contact forms, it’s generally best to keep things simple and only ask
   for **name, email, and message**. This helps keep the form quick and easy to 
   complete, which usually leads to more submissions.
 * If you’d like to include a phone number, I’d recommend keeping it **optional**.
   That way, users who are comfortable sharing it can do so, while others can still
   submit the form without any friction.
 * Keeping the form short and flexible is usually the best approach for better response
   rates.
 * Hope this helps!
