It adds beautiful, responsive social sharing buttons with real-time click and share counters to your posts, pages, and custom post types without slowing down your website. Unlike heavy commercial alternatives that load bloated libraries, external fonts, and slow down your Core Web Vitals, **ClickReach** is built from the ground up for speed, simplicity, and compliance. ### 🚀 Key Features * **100% Free Forever:** No locked features, no “Pro” version nag screens, and no subscription fees. * **Ultra-Lightweight & Fast:** Pure embedded inline SVGs. Zero external HTTP requests, zero webfont downloads, and no render-blocking styles. * **Real-time Share & Click Counters:** Live click counting via secure AJAX that updates without requiring a page refresh. * **Privacy-Friendly & GDPR Compliant:** No third-party tracking scripts, no cookies, and no personal data collection. * **Top Social Platforms Supported:** - **X (formerly Twitter)** with official branding - **Facebook** - **LinkedIn** - **WhatsApp** (optimized for mobile viral sharing) - **Pinterest** - **Reddit** - **Copy Link** (with instant “Copied!” toast feedback) * **Customizable Button Shapes:** Choose between **Rounded** (soft corners), ** Pill** (full capsule), or **Flat** (clean rectangular) styles. * **Flexible Placement:** - Automatically display above content, below content, or both. - Target specific post types (Posts, Pages, or Custom Post Types). - Manual embedding anywhere via shortcode: `[clickreach_social_share_buttons]`. * **Total Share Count Badge:** Optional aggregate counter showing total shares across all platforms. * **Per-Post Controls:** Easily enable or disable share buttons individually on any specific post or page from the editor sidebar. * **Clean Code:** Strictly adheres to WordPress.org security, nonces, sanitization, and coding standards. ### External Services This plugin generates share links that redirect visitors to external social media platforms when they choose to click a share button. No data is sent automatically or in the background — connections only happen when a visitor actively clicks a share button, opening the social platform’s standard share page in a new tab. The following external services are used as share destinations: **X (Twitter)** Used to share a post title and URL on X (formerly Twitter). Data sent: Post URL and post title (only when user clicks the share button).

The frontend sharing buttons and AJAX click tracker are written in pure vanilla JavaScript, ensuring zero dependency on jQuery and optimal Core Web Vitals scores. ### Does this plugin slow down my site? Not at all. The plugin uses pure inline SVGs (less than 3KB total) and loads CSS/ JS conditionally only on pages where buttons are actively displayed. ### How does the click counter work? When a visitor clicks a share link, a secure background AJAX request increments the recorded count for that specific post and platform, updating the live counter in real time without refreshing the page. ### Can I place the buttons manually? Yes! Simply use the shortcode `[clickreach_social_share_buttons]` inside any post, page, block, or page builder (Elementor, Beaver Builder, etc.). ### Is this plugin GDPR compliant? Yes, completely. It does not set cookies, does not collect personal visitor data, and does not connect to third-party ad or tracking networks. The only external connections made are the standard share redirect URLs that open on the social platform’s own website when a user clicks a share button — no data is sent automatically or in the background. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “ClickReach – Social Share Buttons & Counter” is open source software.
