Description
Lightning-Fast Buttons plugin is a lightweight and fast loading alternative to typical social media sharing plugins which add hundreds of kilobytes and dozens of HTTP requests to your website. This plugin uses editable SVG icons to minimize number of requests and optionally queries Sharedcount.com API for number of shares.

- Simple, clean and responsive default design which can be easily updated to your liking
- Only 3 requests and 3.5kB of code
- Vanilla JS to query Sharedcount.com API, no jQuery dependency
- No cookies or tracking code
- Position above or below the post
- Use [lfbtn] shortcode to place the buttons manually. The shortcode has no extra options
