HTML detection + live Lighthouse via PageSpeed Insights

See what your comment system costs

Paste a public page URL. We detect Disqus/Threadline in the HTML, then run a real mobile Lighthouse audit for Core Web Vitals and third-party weight.

Live Lighthouse needs a public HTTPS URL (PageSpeed cannot reach localhost). Local /test-disqus.html loads real literaryhub.disqus.com/embed.js for visual testing.

Tip: use Scan live Disqus article for real lab scores. Localhost scans still detect Disqus/Threadline in HTML, but PageSpeed skips them.

Why publishers are leaving Disqus

Your visitors get tracked

Disqus loads scripts from disquscdn.com that set cookies and track users across every site running Disqus.

Your page load time doubles

Disqus adds hundreds of KB of JavaScript and many network requests to every page.

Threadline is the alternative

A lightweight embed with no third-party trackers, no cookies, and honest verification in your dashboard.
