Fastest Share Buttons

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I tried this plugin on couple of my sites. Superfast. But the issue is – twitter is not working.

   I have to say I was highly skeptical when I read the name of this plugin, but seeing as how it was either try this or code my own I decided to give it a shot. Not only did this plugin save me a few hours of coding, but it works magnificently and has a nice bit of features which newbies can use to get up and running quickly without taking a hit to their ranking due to slow loading speeds often caused by share buttons. My only complaint is the shortcode functionality (which works great). Unfortunately it doesn’t provide much in the way of customizing said shortcode so for my application I ended up having to style it via CSS to get it to stretch each button to fit the share area. I’ll include the code below (works for 5 buttons; if more/less just divide/multiply for 100%: .mofsb-wrapper-static .mofsb-button { height: 48px; min-width: 20%; } I really hope more people see this plugin and begin to use it as it definitely keeps your site running fast and smooth. Nice job developer! This topic was modified 8 years, 6 months ago by Glitch Guards.
