Are Disqus Comment system and plugin heavy?
Hi
We cannot offer any review for Disqus plugin as it’s not tested to work with the theme. However from our reports this plugin works fine with the theme. For more details about how this plugin works you can cheek this links: https://disqus.com/home/channel/discussdisqus/?utm_campaign=kb_referral&utm_content=homepage_widget_link&utm_source=disqus&utm_medium=website
Thanks!
Disqus can slow down the site and page speed.
There is alternate plugin many of us use/used which uses the Disqus API but loads things after main page content loads for better speed.
There have also been reports of many issues with Disqus in 2016. Some folks are choosing to move to FB comments. Others are just sticking with the builtin WP comments. Others still are removing comments entirely as not adding to the conversation on many sites, and simply pulling in trolls and spambots.
