    Hello,

    Can you please provide a link? This is news to us, and we’d like to help you fix this problem if it has anything to do with our plugin. If not, this review is very misleading.

    Hello,

    yes, I can confirm.
    Plugin itself is great! Thank you.

    But all those crappy “analytic” from sharethis.com slow down a site very much. Test on https://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/ with plugin activated/deactivated. The difference is a 30 (!) requests to all those domains mentioned above, which slow down site and send info about your site and visitors to the third party.

    Please, remove this!

    P.S.: This share and track functions are loading on the whole site, not only on the FAQ pages. :o(

    Has this been fixed? Ultimate FAQ is a great plugin but I can’t use it because it slow the site down so much.

    Thanks for the heads up on this. I can’t stand plugins that load their js/css on pages where its not even being used. Thats just lazy coding. =(

    Hi all,

    The “sharethis.com” extension was taken out a few weeks ago.

    Rustaurius,

    So you are now only loading your js/css files on pages that actually are showing the plugin or are you loading them on all WP “pages”?

    Hi Mac,

    If you send a link on how to do that, I’m sure it’s something we’d change pretty quickly.

    Thanks for the link, hadn’t seen anyone using a global variable to detect when their shortcodes are called, very interesting idea.
