Description
Sharelet adds clean, fast social sharing buttons to your WordPress posts and pages. No tracking scripts, no external requests on page load, no subscriptions.

FAQ
-
Is this plugin free?

Yes. Facebook, Twitter (X), Pinterest, and Bluesky buttons are completely free. Threads, WhatsApp, Email and Copy Link require a one-time $19 premium add-on.

-

Will this slow down my site?
-
No. The free plugin loads zero JS and minimal CSS. Only the Copy Link button (premium add-on) loads an extra 347 bytes of JS. No external scripts, no tracking.
-
Yes. Use the shortcode [shrlt] anywhere. To show specific networks: [shrlt networks=”facebook,twitter,pinterest,bluesky”]

4-5 is the sweet spot. More than that and they start wrapping to a second row. Stick to the networks your audience actually uses.
