FastComments is Now Even Faster
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.
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.
The word cloud on your analytics dashboard now reads sentiment in every language we support, shows cleaner words, and no longer errors on the "All Time" view.
Every embedded FastComments widget (comment counts, recent comments, top pages, recent discussions, reviews summary, floating likes) now update in real time.
You can now point Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any other Model Context Protocol client at FastComments and have it call our API directly.
