<p><strong>The fastest way to add live chat to WordPress</strong> — Cnvrse Lite lets you chat with visitors directly from your WordPress admin or via Telegram on your phone. No signup required, no external services, no monthly fees.</p>
<h3>Why Cnvrse?</h3>
<p>Most live chat plugins require external accounts, charge monthly fees, or slow down your site with heavy scripts. Cnvrse is different:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>100% Native WordPress</strong> — Uses WordPress REST API and custom post types. Your data stays in your database.</li>
<li><strong>Reply from Anywhere</strong> — Answer chats from wp-admin or connect Telegram for mobile notifications and replies.</li>
<li><strong>Privacy-First</strong> — No visitor tracking, no external servers, no cookies beyond session identification. GDPR-friendly by design.</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight</strong> — Under 50KB total. No jQuery dependency. Loads asynchronously.</li>
<li><strong>Setup in Seconds</strong> — Install, activate, done. Chat widget appears automatically.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<p><strong>Live Chat Widget</strong><br />
A clean, modern chat bubble that matches any theme. Customize colors and greeting text from Settings.</p>
<p><strong>Real-Time Dashboard</strong><br />
See active visitors, ongoing conversations, and message history. Reply instantly without leaving WordPress.</p>
<p><strong>Telegram Integration</strong> (Optional)<br />
Connect your Telegram bot to receive instant notifications and reply to visitors from your phone. Perfect for on-the-go support.</p>
<p><strong>Visitor Intelligence</strong><br />
See visitor location, browser, current page, and browsing journey. Know context before you reply.</p>
<p><strong>Conversation Management</strong><br />
Organize chats with Open/Pending/Closed status. Auto-close inactive conversations. Never lose a lead.</p>

<li>Small business websites needing simple customer support</li>
