This is one of our key advantages. Clients can leave feedback immediately without signing up, logging in, or installing anything. ### Will this slow down my website? Not at all. The widget script loads asynchronously with the `defer` attribute, meaning it never blocks your page from loading. ### Does it work on staging and development sites? Yes! Simple Commenter works on any URL including localhost, staging environments, and password-protected pages. ### Can I control who sees the feedback widget? Absolutely. You can show it to everyone, only logged-in users, or specific WordPress roles (like Editors and Administrators only). ### How is this different from Marker.io or Feedbucket? Simple Commenter focuses on simplicity that clients actually appreciate: * No mandatory client registration * Lightweight script that won’t slow your site * Manage everything from WordPress admin * Affordable pricing with lifetime deal options ### Is there a free trial? Yes! Start with a 14-day free trial. No credit card required. ### Where is feedback stored? Feedback is stored securely on Simple Commenter’s EU-based servers. You can access it from WordPress admin or the web dashboard. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/35745cbb4065201434c30aad2e5980133a6a987f4dbbba485c04da8d57601f26? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Parfait](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parfait-461/)󠁿 [Groovyx9](https://profiles.wordpress.org/groovyx9/) Març 11, 2026 Simple, effective, the perfect complement to the Simple Commenter service, which is clearly the best in class for this type of tool (and I’ve tried a ton of them).

It was great then and just keeps getting better. Exactly what I always wanted in a feedback tool and now the WP integration just takes it over the top. Made a request for the widget to be disabled in my page builder of choice and within a week the fix was implemented and released. Great product, Great support. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8ae12083edb8e8916568641eb50c3d3c43e2f989eb9a844f070aaa5db3773d71? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[This how a Feedback Tool should be : simple for the user and the clients](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-how-a-feedback-tool-should-be-simple-for-the-user-and-the-clients/)󠁿 [karlorv](https://profiles.wordpress.org/karlorv/) Febrer 10, 2026 Excellent plugin built by Aleksander !
