 * Everyone says it’s easy to use, which it is, but was just wondering about the
   effect on loading time of a site. I was using another social sharing plugin before
   only to discover a year later it was slowing down my site.
    Can anyone help with
   this or give links to their sites where they are using this plugin?
 * Thanks a bunch!

 * Hi Kath,
 * Thank you for the nice review! 🙂
 * We did everything possible to minimize the impact on loading speed, however like
   with any other plugin, it means more code to process, so yes it will make your
   site slower, however not by too much. Why don’t you just activate it and check
   it?
 * Please note that the plugin loads after all the other elements on your site are
   loaded – so even if it slows down the site a bit the user experience should not
   be severely impacted.
 * Kind regards,
 * John

 * Thanks a bunch for the quick response John! We’re already using it (partially)
   on some of our other sites!;)
    Keep up the great work!
