Nice one, I've refrained from adding comments because quite frankly I'm too far down the performance rabbit hole and don't want a http request that most people won't use.

Any tips for keeping utterances weight down ?

It's really lightweight and you can load the script asynchronously, it won't cut down too much on your performance. I know it didn't on my blog...

You can always add it behind a "show comments" call to action and load the required script after someone clicked on that.

I'd say just try it, it's so easy to add it that you can always revert back in a matter of minutes if you notice a slowdown 😊
