Want a Disqus alternative that simplifies everything? <a href="https://getreplybox.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">ReplyBox</a> is a simple, privacy-focused comment system that’s lightweight and blazingly-fast.
<h4>Private: Built For Peace of Mind</h4>
Who doesn’t love tracking, ads and affiliate links every time they log on? Turns out everyone!
We know that you and your users don’t want to have to navigate ads and worry about the way your personal data is being handled, so we built a comment system with a difference.
All we’re focused on is making sure those all-important little comments get to where they need to go, and nothing else. That means we never monetize data, take over links, or track who’s doing what.
We’re built and hosted in the UK, fully secured, and encrypted. Not only that, if you want to know how we use the tiny amount of data we do collect, all you have to do is ask.
<h4>Lightweight: Built For Speed</h4>
Fast page loading means happy visitors, and happy visitors mean more customers.
That’s why we made ReplyBox just 17 KB so that we’re super fast, lightweight and truly agile when you compare us to any other comment system. Perfect for when you want Google to notice that you’ve sped up your game and you’re worthy of jumping up their rankings.
And Disqus? It’s nearly 30 times heavier than we are.
<h4>We Always Look the Part</h4>
We made ReplyBox so that it’s modern, minimalist and mobile friendly from the moment you get started.
<h4>Features</h4>
ReplyBox is all about making life simpler, so we added everything you need and nothing more.
Goodbye Spam: We use Akismet and a few other bright ideas to keep the spammers on the sidelines where they belong.
Instant Moderation: Control all new comments with a manual approval system that’s simple and effective.
Markdown Formatting: Links, lists, quotes, code blocks and even your favorite emojis are all welcome here 💪
Natural Discussion: We’ve added nested comments so your users can reply direct to any comment they like and share their bright ideas.
Always in the Loop: Anyone can subscribe to email notifications in an instant so that a reply or comment is never missed.
Social Login: Make commenting even easier by authenticating via Google in just two clicks (Twitter and the rest coming soon).
Work Wonders With WordPress: Import existing comments and sync everything without ever having to lift a finger.
Custom CSS: Use CSS to transform ReplyBox into the on-brand addition your business has been waiting for.
Webhooks: Notify external services that new comments have been added and streamline your workflow.
Pin a Comment: Highlight a bright idea or spark of inspiration with the click of a button so you never lose it.
Comment Upvotes: A comment doesn’t always need a reply. Sometimes all you need is an upvote.
Localization: Reach English-speaking, Spanish speakers, or any language group with our platform, connecting in their preferred language.
More Design Options (coming soon): Our designers are hard at work putting the finishing touches to even more ways to turn on the style.
<h4>Plugin Features</h4>
Our WordPress plugin means you get ReplyBox without having to do a thing. Once installed, ReplyBox replaces the native WordPress comment system.
Comment Import: Import existing WordPress comments to ReplyBox with the click of a button.
Comment Syncing: Any new comments posted to ReplyBox will be synced to WordPress. Meaning, if at any point you disable the ReplyBox WordPress plugin, your comments will remain in WordPress.

ReplyBox – Better WordPress Comments

I’m using ReplyBox on all my sites now for comments. It has an elegant and clean look, and doesn’t slow down my page load times by loading lots of scripts.

Simple, effective and extremely performant

Finally! The Disqus alternative I've been searching for. 

Amazing product + world class support. 

WordPress Comments Revolutionized

We just discovered ReplyBox recently and are currently in the process of switching over several of our sites. Integration so far has been pretty easy, and it's a big step up over the native WordPress comment system. I like how they're privacy focused and conscious of bloat— we haven't noticed any change in the load speed of our posts since adding ReplyBox.

Looks great, works great, would recommend 👍

Does what it says on the box

This is fork of successful Anti-spam plugin v5.5 written by webvitalii, for more info visit <a href="https://github.com/kudlav/anti-spam/" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub Fork</a>. 
From version 5.6 maintained by kudlav.
<ul>

</ul>
Anti-spam Reloaded plugin blocks 100% of automatic spam messages in comments section and also blocks all trackbacks.No captcha required.
Plugin is simple and easy to use: just install it and it just works.
Blocked comments can be stored in the Spam area and converted to regular comments if needed.
Anti-spam Reloaded plugin is GDPR compliant and does not store any other user data except of the behaviour mentioned above.
Plugin blocks spam only in comments section.. 
Plugin does not block manual spam (submitted by spammers manually via browser).
<h3>Compatibility</h3>
All modern browsers and IE11+ are supported. 
Anti-spam Reloaded plugin works with disabled JavaScript. Users with disabled JavaScript should manually fill current year before submitting the comment.
Server compatibility:
<ul>
<li>WordPress 3.3 – 6.5</li>
<li>PHP 5.6 – 8.2</li>
<li>Doesn’t use jQuery</li>
</ul>
Plugin is incompatible with:
<ul>
<li>Disqus</li>
<li>Jetpack Comments</li>
<li>AJAX Comment Form</li>
<li>bbPress</li>
</ul>
If site has caching plugin enabled and cache is not cleared or if theme does not use ‘comment_form’ action 
and there is no plugin inputs in comments form – plugin tries to add hidden fields automatically using JavaScript.
<h3>How does it work?</h3>
The blocking algorithm is based on 2 methods: ‘invisible js-captcha’ and ‘invisible input trap’ (aka honeypot technique).
<h4>‘invisible js-captcha’</h4>
The ‘invisible js-captcha’ method is based on fact that bots does not have JavaScript on their user-agents. 
Extra hidden field is added to comments form. 
It is the question about the current year. 
If the user visits site, than this field is answered automatically with JavaScript, is hidden by JavaScript and CSS and invisible for the user. 
If the spammer will fill year-field incorrectly – the comment will be blocked because it is spam.
<h4>‘invisible input trap’</h4>
The ‘invisible input trap’ method is based on fact that almost all the bots will fill inputs with name ’email’ or ‘url’. 
Extra hidden field is added to comments form. 
This field is hidden for the user and user will not fill it. 
But this field is visible for the spammer. 
If the spammer will fill this trap-field with anything – the comment will be blocked because it is spam.
