We patched the operating system on all of our servers to fix a recent Linux TCP vulnerability, and updated Node.js to pick up its October security release. No action is needed on your side.
The hosted Commento and Cusdis services have stopped responding. Here is how to move to FastComments, and how we can help recover your comments from the Internet Archive if you never exported them.
FastComments can now translate the comments themselves, not just the widget around them. Turn it on per site or per page, automatically or with a Translate button, and every reader sees the conversation in their own language with the original one click away.
A feature-by-feature guide for publishers moving off OpenWeb (formerly Spot.IM): what maps 1:1, what is different, how the CSV import works, how the SSO handshake changes, and a step-by-step cutover plan.
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.
