Good support
I’m not usually write any reviews, but since the support team helped me so much, they deserve a great review with a full 5 stars. The plugin wasn’t working properly on one of my 3 websites, even though it was working fine on the other websites on the same server. After giving Eugene from Cleantalk access to the Wordpress admin backoffice and FTP, they discovered that the memory limit was set too low. It needs to be at least 256MB, and mine was set to 128MB.I increased this to 368 MB, and everything is working great. I'm very satisfied with both the support and the tools. Keep up the good work, I'd say. Kind regards,Mario

Great response
After updating their plugin, it threw up a warning as I was editing my website. I reported that on this forum and they immediately got in touch. They gave me daily updates as they worked on the problem. They have resolved the problem and I am very grateful. Jim

The BEST! Quick response to Help Requests
I’m a web designer and work with multiple vendors and support teams. CleanTalk’s team is outstanding and one of the best I’ve encountered. They are patient, friendly, and quick to respond whenever an issue arises. I recently purchased their security software to protect all the websites on my dedicated server. While I haven’t had enough time to review the security software itself yet, I have complete confidence in this team. The other CleanTalk software I use has worked extremely well. The best! Highly recommended!
