<p>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.</p>
<h4>Private: Built For Peace of Mind</h4>
<p>Who doesn’t love tracking, ads and affiliate links every time they log on? Turns out everyone!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h4>Lightweight: Built For Speed</h4>
<p>Fast page loading means happy visitors, and happy visitors mean more customers.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>And Disqus? It’s nearly 30 times heavier than we are.</p>
<h4>We Always Look the Part</h4>
<p>We made ReplyBox so that it’s modern, minimalist and mobile friendly from the moment you get started.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<p>ReplyBox is all about making life simpler, so we added everything you need and nothing more.</p>
<p><strong>Goodbye Spam:</strong> We use Akismet and a few other bright ideas to keep the spammers on the sidelines where they belong.</p>
<p><strong>Instant Moderation:</strong> Control all new comments with a manual approval system that’s simple and effective.</p>
<p><strong>Markdown Formatting:</strong> Links, lists, quotes, code blocks and even your favorite emojis are all welcome here 💪</p>
<p><strong>Natural Discussion:</strong> We’ve added nested comments so your users can reply direct to any comment they like and share their bright ideas.</p>
<p><strong>Always in the Loop:</strong> Anyone can subscribe to email notifications in an instant so that a reply or comment is never missed.</p>
<p><strong>Social Login:</strong> Make commenting even easier by authenticating via Google in just two clicks (Twitter and the rest coming soon).</p>

<p><strong>Custom CSS:</strong> Use CSS to transform ReplyBox into the on-brand addition your business has been waiting for.</p>
<p><strong>Webhooks:</strong> Notify external services that new comments have been added and streamline your workflow.</p>
<p><strong>Pin a Comment:</strong> Highlight a bright idea or spark of inspiration with the click of a button so you never lose it.</p>
<p><strong>Comment Upvotes:</strong> A comment doesn’t always need a reply. Sometimes all you need is an upvote.</p>
<p><strong>Localization:</strong> Reach English-speaking, Spanish speakers, or any language group with our platform, connecting in their preferred language.</p>
<p><strong>More Design Options (coming soon):</strong> Our designers are hard at work putting the finishing touches to even more ways to turn on the style.</p>
<h4>Plugin Features</h4>
<p>Our WordPress plugin means you get ReplyBox without having to do a thing. Once installed, ReplyBox replaces the native WordPress comment system.</p>
<p><strong>Comment Import:</strong> Import existing WordPress comments to ReplyBox with the click of a button.</p>
<p><strong>Comment Syncing:</strong> 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.</p>


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

A simple, privacy-focused comment system that's lightweight and blazingly-fast.

<p>Skip page reloads and separate error screens when posting comments. Ajaxify Comments hooks into your native WordPress comment system and allows comment posting without a page reload. Lazy loading comments is also supported, which can help speed up your page load time.</p>
<h3>TLDR</h3>
<p><a href="https://docs.dlxplugins.com/v/ajaxify-comments/first-time-users/getting-started" rel="nofollow ugc">Getting Started</a> | <a href="https://github.com/sponsors/DLXPlugins" rel="nofollow ugc">Sponsor Us</a> | <a href="https://dlxplugins.com/plugins/ajaxify-comments" rel="nofollow ugc">Ajaxify Home</a></p>
<p>Ajaxify Comments hooks into your theme and improves the usability of the comment form by validating and adding comments without the need of page reloads. Users can remain on the page and interact with new comments as they’re posted. This plugin also supports lazy loading of comments, which can help speed up your page load time.</p>
<h3>Introduction</h3>
<p>When submitting the comment form, WordPress by default reloads the entire page. This can be a disorienting experience for the user. In the case of errors in the comment (invalid email, duplicate comment, empty comment), these often require a separate error screen and the user has to use the back button to edit their comment. This can be a frustrating experience for the user. Adding to that, comments can be resource intensive, and can slow down your page load time.</p>
<p>With Ajaxify Comments, comments are posted without a page reload. If there are errors, the error message is shown immediately, so the user can correct their comment.</p>
<p>Ajaxify Comments also comes with lazy loading of the comments section. For a page with a lot of comments, this can speed things up considerably. You can load comments when the DOM is ready or when the comment section is scrolled into view.</p>
<p>Moreover this plugin includes an option to automatically refresh the comments on the current page while the user stays on your page without requiring a page reload. This can be helpful in busy comment sections where reply response time is important.</p>

<h3>Requirements and Compatibility</h3>
<p>Please use the native WordPress comment system with Ajaxify Comments.</p>
<p>The plugin has integrations with:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/confetti/" rel="ugc">Confetti</a> – Show confetti when a comment is posted.</li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-comment-editing/" rel="ugc">Comment Edit Core</a> – Allow users to edit their comments.</li>
<li><a href="https://dlxplugins.com/plugins/comment-edit-pro/" rel="nofollow ugc">Comment Edit Pro</a> – Add numerous utilities and automations to your comment section.</li>
</ol>
<p>The following themes are supported out of the box:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/themes/astra/" rel="ugc">Astra</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/themes/blocksy/" rel="ugc">Blocksy</a></li>
<li>Divi</li>

<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/themes/neve/" rel="ugc">Neve</a></li>
<li>Twenty Ten – Twenty Twenty Three</li>
</ol>
<p>Ajaxify Comments should be compatible with most block themes. If <a href="https://docs.dlxplugins.com/v/ajaxify-comments/first-time-users/menu-helper" rel="nofollow ugc">Menu Helper</a> can’t find the selectors, please leave a support request.</p>
<h3>Technical Note</h3>
<p>Since the plugin hooks into the theme on client-side to intercept the comment form submit process, and to add new comments without reloading the page, the plugin needs to access the DOM nodes using jQuery selectors. The plugin comes with default values for these selectors that were successfully tested with WordPress’ default themes “Twenty Ten”, “Twenty Eleven”, “Twenty Twelve”, “Twenty Thirteen”, “Twenty Fourteen”, “Twenty Fifteen”, “Twenty Sixteen”. If required, the selectors can be customized to match your theme in the plugin’s settings.</p>

Ajaxify Comments – Ajax and Lazy Loading Comments

This has always been a great plugin. It always worked just fine, even if weweave (the previous owners) stopped maintaining and developing it.

Since DLX plugins took over, it got even better

There’s been a lot of admin UI improvements, and Ronald has showed to be incredibly responsive to implement small additional features that can make life easier.

Sent him a feature request, and was incredibly glad to see that he also judged that it was a useful thing to implement. It took him less than 48h to push it live!

Just excellent

Ajaxify Comments speeds up your comment section, allowing for lazy loading comments, instant comment posting, and seamless success and error messages.
