Description

Barry Allen might be the fastest man alive but when it comes to WordPress – there’s no competition which is the fastest, most optimized, and performance-friendly social sharing plugin on the planet.

Presenting you the superhero plugin of the year – Flash Social Share⚡️! You can now share on social media blazingly quick like the Flash. If you’re looking for a no bloat social media sharing plugin for WordPress, relax, you’ve just found it.

Flash Social Share is extremely lightweight and is optimized for speed. Your website will never slow down because we have not written a single line of code that’s not optimized for speed!

“Focus. Speed. I am speed” like Lightning McQueen – we had the same motto while we set out to build the most lightweight, most optimized, SEO friendly, and the fastest social sharing plugin. We wanted to eat our competitors for breakfast who used yesterday’s tech.

When comparing to other popular plugins – Flash Social Share is 250% faster. We become obsessed with performance. This means taking extra time to strategize and code things in a way that is performance friendly.

A few examples of this would be

  • We haven’t used any external services, which means no external DNS requests!
  • Scripts don’t run where they shouldn’t
  • All the icons/styles are heavily speed optimized. We use CSS3 animations, pure JavaScript, and inline SVGs to make sure you are experiencing a clutter-free and a remarkable experience.
  • We did not use any external library. We dropped Jquery completely. And used raw JavaScript. That gave us almost 250% performance improvements, and trimmed down the plugin size by 173%
  • We use custom database tables designed for scaling of large and high-traffic WordPress sites. Other plugins tend to use the wp_options table which fills up over time. This can highly reduce your site’s performance.
  • No API calls are made if share count is enabled, offering you the FASTEST experience.

This plugin is not only lightweight and speedy, but we also offer you with an exclusive set of features. Flash social share is quite simply the most stylish social sharing plugin with advanced features like Gutenberg & Elementor integration.

It works on all devices and looks absolutely stunning. When optimizing the mobile experience, we looked into the pixel level. Flash Social Share is the best plugin, not just in terms of speed but also when it comes to usability and design.

Minimalistic style & performance don’t mean you have to give up on features. We added all social media support with over 35+ social media platforms. Use Flash Social Media Share just the way you like it.

Time to step up your game. Don’t let your website slow down. Do your social sharing in the speed of light, just like the Flash! Just activate Flash Social Share on your device, and browse the website to experience a super fast and amazingly gauzy social sharing on your website.

Privacy Policy

Social Media Share Buttons Plugin – Flash uses Appsero SDK to collect some telemetry data upon user’s confirmation. This helps us to troubleshoot problems faster & make product improvements.

Appsero SDK does not gather any data by default. The SDK only starts gathering basic telemetry data when a user allows it via the admin notice. We collect the data to ensure a great user experience for all our users.

Integrating Appsero SDK DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY start gathering data, without confirmation from users in any case.
