Hey Lyceum, there is no risk in installing a hello bar on wordpress or squarespace, be it considering the speed or security of the site. Just make sure you are installing the plugin from a trusted source, both wordpress and squarespace offer plugins for this functionality. For wordpress, I have mentioned the plugins that will help you in creating and adding an announcement bar on your site in the blog post itself.

For squarespace, I would recommend powR.io :)

Shivam: Could an announcement bar slow down the loading of your page? Is it any security risk to install this kind of bar? Could you install it on both Squarespace and Wordpress sites?
