Thanks Jane! Glad to hear page vitals are holding strong.
One-line install

Paste. Done.

One HTML snippet, any platform. Async loader (<12KB) lazy-loads the widget below the fold.

embed.html
<div id="threadline-comments"></div>
<script
  src="$https://threadline-api-delta.vercel.app/api/embed"
  data-site-id="tl_pub_your_site_key"
  data-api-url="$https://threadline-comments-api.onrender.com"
  async></script>
