Add async & defer properties to sharethis.js file

    In an effort to improve Google Pagespeed Insights metrics, adding the async and/or defer properties to sharethis.js file.

    In many cases, these buttons are below the fold and thus loading them delayed won’t cause a negative user impact.

    Is this something the developers have considered adding? It could be a configurable option as well in the WordPress admin so as to not create a breaking / undesired experience for current users.

    I appreciate the consideration of this suggestion being added to the plugin.
