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!
