Description

We can’t imagine a site without Social Sharing buttons. It’s must and absolutely required. This plugin adds Social Sharing buttons after each post:

  • without any JavaScripts
  • without any page loading performance impact

Supported Sharing Options

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Buffer
  • Pinterest
  • Google+
  • Email

Subscribe to Twitter and Facebook to get latest update.

Why another Social Sharing Button?

  • Not all but most of social sharing plugins are not optimized for your need
  • They may load social sharing icons individually which increased unnecessary HTTP requests to your server
  • If you are using official social sharing buttons then it loads Java Script for each Sharing button which eventually impacts your page load speed significantly
  • If your page speed is high, your site will rank high in Google Search
  • If your page speed is high, there are more chances users will return to your site more frequently as it’s smooth experience for them

  • There is no point to load java scripts on each and every page on your site. more detailed info.

I personally don’t think we need more sharing buttons

  • But let me know what you think? Do you need more options? Chime in and provide your comment on Plugin Homepage (Live Example).

1. when i look at the unanswered post here and at GitHub im worried. 2. shortcode would be nice to add into custom post types manually.

Ultra fast social sharing plgun

Hitesh Bhasin 8 September 2017
I have actually compared the page speed timings of social warfare vs monarch and all the famous plugins out there. I was disgusted because Social media plugins were taking a major time to load - they were equivalent as WP seo by yoast or GENESIS themes both of which had solid functionality. Social media does not generate as much traffic as SEO. So i was dissapointed that so much server load goes to social media (and google pushes us to make websites faster). I saw this plugin on crunchify and immediately installed it. it has a load time within 100 miliseconds. Compared to Social warfare it is 70% faster. Fantastic. The only problem i could find is that the sharing button sizes were a bit small. but i am sure the author is listening and he will improve these small things over time. All the best. Please keep the plugin updated at all times.

Thanks for using plugin
