Social Plugins That Don't Slow Page Speed?

Hi Robnalexpress, thank you for all the info!
Which one is better between Addthis plugin and Addtoany considering load speeds?
Add this does have the counter for tweeter so it is my favorite option from now.
Also it has really good stats…

Thanks

@darkpollo- I never tried addthis.

Ok, thanks.
I will try it and let you know. ??
It looks better, has the same links and also add the twitter count.

Counters tend to be very latent and slow to load. If you’re optimizing for page speed, avoid counters.

I’ve tested nearly a dozen social sharing plugins and the FASTEST plugin available is one that almost no one has heard of.

It will load before your content loads, guaranteed.

It’s called rtSocial.

And you can download it here.

I wrote a whole article on the importance of speed, SEO, and social sharing plugins.

I’m finish up a new post on social sharing for traffic generation. I’m listing all of the up-to-date plugins there. rtSocial will be listed as the fastest by far.

Nice tip, thnx!

Do let us know if you have any questions about SexyBookmarks from Shareaholic! We’ve been spending a lot of time lately making the plugin load even faster. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Thanks so much!

I use AddToAny, load asynchroniously and use a2a_config.no_3p = 1;

Tweet, Like, Google +1 and Share is fairly simple which is good as I don’t need all the other numerous buttons. BUT it does add 7 javascript files and therefore YSlow is not happy!

Please use the correct forum to discuss which plugin is better.

I am currently using “shareaholic” that LOOKS great, and you can be very choosy about what you want to include. How do I tell if this is a good one as far as load time?

@dldmarketing Let us know if we can help! – https://www.shareaholic.com/help

Shareholic and AddToAny have one big problem, they involve an extra click in order for visitors to like or +1 our pages.

rtSocial is great but has the same problem.

I’m currently using https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/only-tweet-like-share-and-google-1/ but it seems it’s using an outdated version of Facebook javascript. If anyone has any other advice, please share!
