Novashare 1.3.4 – Lightweight and fast social media sharing plugin

Novashare is a WordPress social sharing plugin at the speed of light. A fast and lightweight social sharing plugin that won’t slow down your site. Novashare was developed from the ground up with a performance-focused approach to increase your shares.

Novashare was developed from the ground up with simplicity and performance in mind. You can be up and running with our plugin in a matter of minutes and rest easy knowing it won’t bring your site to a crawl.

Whether you have a small or large site, scaling is not a problem. Some of the top brands in the WordPress industry, like Kinsta, WPLift, and HeroThemes, have already implemented Novashare.

With Novashare, our scripts don’t run where they shouldn’t. This was a big pet peeve of ours with other social sharing plugins. If you don’t have it selected to load on the homepage, then it shouldn’t load there.

Third-party icons are great, but they also come with a performance cost. Novashare instead uses inline SVG icons. This means there are no additional libraries or DNS lookups needed just for the icons.

We use custom tables designed for scaling of large and high-traffic WordPress sites. A huge problem with some plugins is that they fill up the wp_options table over time and this can kill your site’s performance. With custom tables, the bulk of the data is stored separately.

We have three share count refresh rate options you can choose. These use a staggered approach, which is the best for performance and marketing purposes. If you’re a developer, you can also use the built-in filter to pass in your own share count refresh rates. Don’t care about share counts? No API calls are made if they aren’t enabled.

Just how lightweight is Novashare? It’s under 5 KB on the front-end! In other words, our WordPress plugin is really small.

Easy UI. Minimal and easy to configure settings. We take advantage of WordPress styling on the back-end so you don’t have to waste time learning a new UI.

Share counts. Increase your social visibility. Display single and total share counts from Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Reddit, and more on your site’s popular content.

Click to Tweet block. We love the WordPress block editor. Our plugin comes with a Click to Tweet block and a shortcode you can use for quotes to increase Twitter shares.

Works on all devices. Responsive and works on all devices, from desktops to mobile phones. Set breakpoints where you want the share buttons to appear.

Share buttons and counts. Increase your social visibility by adding share buttons on your site’s most popular content (including blog posts, pages, custom post types, or even ecommerce products). Encourage people to share by showing single or total share counts from your favorite social media networks.
