FastComments has been a TrustPilot customer since 2022. In 2026 we are ending this partnership.
We've removed one network request when loading the comment widget, lowering load times even more.
FastComments can now hand each new visitor a unique, neutral username so they never have to invent one. The shared Default Username also no longer gets "taken" by the first person to use it.
FastComments now speaks Arabic, and every part of FastComments lays out right-to-left for Arabic and Hebrew. Counts like "3 comments" also now use the correct plural form in every language.
Connect your comments to thousands of apps with the official FastComments app for Zapier. Triggers fire the moment a comment is posted, and any app can create comments, pages, and users on your site.
The audit log now shows who or what each event affected by name, and you can search on it. There's also now date range, sub-tenant search, field-level diffs on updates, and matching API filters.
The Banned Users page now has a search row, so you can find a ban by email, name, who issued it, or the comment that caused it.
Read this post to see how to fully migrate from Cusdis to FastComments, including your threads, moderation status, and page URLs.
Commenters can now paste an embed code and have the video or player render right inside the comment. It is off by default, opt-in per site, and restricted to trusted providers.
