I’m kind of intrigued here. How do these plugins affect performance? I’ve found anything to do with Facebook has a lot of very slow .js requests that really slow pages down.
So I no longer use social sharing buttons through plugins and have custom css to do the job. Which is must faster.
That said a lot of these look useful for my sites, but can this functionality be implemented without slowing sites massively?
