   I've been using addtoany on my blog for a while. I decided to add Google +1, Facebook Like, and the Tweet buttons (basically the first 3 services you can select).

   Adding these services seemed to significantly slow down my site with lots of repetitive calls to google and facebook. Page loading time went from 1.3 seconds to 7.2 seconds.

   Here's my site without the buttons enabled:

   And here it is after enabling:

   Am I doing something wrong here or is this normal? Thanks.

   This is unfortunately the nature of the Like, Tweet, +1 buttons (because they use iframes).

   If you use these particular buttons, you should consider displaying them only on single posts & pages instead of your front pages.
