A chat for WordPress with no plugins and no servers

WordPress chat plugins tend to load your hosting, clash with other plugins or need a separate real-time server. With Parlo the chat lives on our servers and WordPress just shows one line.

Why not a chat plugin

  • Performance: real-time chat keeps a connection open with every visitor. Shared WordPress hosting feels it fast.
  • Maintenance: one more plugin to update, with its conflicts and security issues.
  • Traffic spikes: the day your live show takes off, the chat must not go down.

Add the chat to WordPress in 4 steps

  1. Create your free chat at parlo.ink.
  2. Copy the embed code from your customer area (included on the free plan too):
<iframe src="https://yourchat.parlo.ink/" style="width:100%;height:650px;border:0" allow="clipboard-write"></iframe>
  1. In WordPress, edit the page, press + and add a Custom HTML block. Paste the code.
  2. Press Update. Your chat is live.

Elementor, Divi and other builders

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install a plugin?

No. The Custom HTML block that ships with WordPress is all you need.

Does it work on WordPress.com?

Yes, on WordPress.com plans that allow HTML or iframes. On self-hosted WordPress it always works.

Your audience is already talking. Give them a place.
