CBOX is a very popular online chat widget that you can place on your own blog/website. It is a very promising chat box and never hangs or lags. Their free service is quite good with one default theme and changing only few options is allowed. I you wish to add cbox on your WordPress blog all you have to do is to is register on their website cbox.ws . You will get a short code which you can copy and past it directly to one of your widgets in your desired widget. Now that you know what CBOX is, you might want to know why its better to use CBOX rather than using a WordPress AJAX plugin which would do the same or similar thing.
Why should you use CBOX?
Well, even though there are a lot of plugins in WordPress that provide the same features as CBOX does, you should still go for CBOX. Here’s why. I have been using a WordPress plugin called Simple AJAX chat a while ago on my website GoPUC.com .The thing is that it overtook my 8GB 4 CPU server with 80% usage. Now, if you were running this on a shared server and got a decent amount of traffic you can consider your self banned! The plugin is not optimized and if it was it would still take away unnecessary space on your server. CBOX on the other hand have those covered as they use their own server for your chat messages.
CBOX also stops spam and other automated bots to come in and wreck your life. It has highly advanced code to ensure that such automation never happen.
Why should I go for CBOX premium?
- Its f***ng cheap – only 6$ for 3 months!
- You can remove spammy humans automatically.
- These people are one who write the same message over and over again trying to fill in the whole box. I hate them….
- You ban remove impostors.Usually, I used to get people write things on my chat box impersonating as Admin, or CEO of GoPUC.com LOL

Well you can directly ban these names for any one to use it. - Great looking themes
- The themes look simple and nice. I originally didn’t like the look of the default theme because it never suited my website.
- Instant updates
- In the default version you would have to click refresh on the CBOX or refresh the whole page to view any new message that you might have got. But in the premium version you get instant updates so that keeps users more interacted instead of just refreshing the whole page and also save quite some band width.
- You can see how many are online
- Instead of having a separate widget to tell you the number of users online cbox premium does it for you thus saving more load time for user and a better experience.
- No ads by CBOX
Well you can directly ban these names for any one to use it.Although the CBOX ads are not quite annoying in the default version, in the premium version they removed their smalls ads and also any back links to their website.
What options are on CBOX premium?
CBOX Premium Options
All in all, I feel that everyone should get yourselves one of these as they help you to increase user interaction just like it has on my website GoPUC.com . And by the way, I just wanted to say that I don’t get any concession or commission from CBOX for advertising their premium services. The premium services were just so good that I felt like sharing it with everyone.
