Add comments to your 11ty blog with utterances

Antonio Piras on April 17, 2021

A while ago I was looking for a way to add a comment section to my static blog and this is the result of all the googling I did on the subject 💪🏻 ...

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 😊

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 6 years ago after experiencing weakness, numbness, and other symptoms. Despite numerous treatments, my condition worsened, and I was losing hope. Two years ago, my son recommended EarthCure Herbal Clinic( www. earthcureherbalclinic .com), where Dr. Madida Sam helped cure a friend’s mother of Parkinson Disease and HPV. I decided to give it a try, and within four months, all my symptoms reversed. It’s been two years, and I’m symptom-free, back to work, and living a healthy life. My doctors were amazed by my recovery. I highly recommend EarthCure, it’s been life-changing for me.

I ended up using Giscus, that is very simmilar, but uses Git discussions.
