 * Alright. I don’t have any kind of sharethis plugin installed on my WordPress,
   just got rid of my like buttons because they don’t work with https unless I pay
   and I can’t do that right now.
 * So, now that the basics are established, I ran pingdom tools on my website and
   it says that my website is reaching out to platform-api.sharethis.com. I’ve looked
   all over my website, there is no sharethis or share options or anything in my
   WordPress. But it just keeps trying to contact sharethis which is not installed.
   Anyone know how to fix this?

 * Please provide a link to a page on your site where we can see this. Thanks.

 * It doesn’t show up on the page itself. It shows up whenever I run a tester.

 * And then I tell it to test [https://www.stfinian.com](https://www.stfinian.com)
   and that’s where I keep seeing sharethis references. I am starting to think that
   it is actually something to do with HostGator. I can’t find any references to
   sharethis in my plugins list or in the files on my server.

 * If find these lines in your page source
 *     ```
       <link rel='dns-prefetch' href='//platform-api.sharethis.com' />
       <script type='text/javascript' src='//platform-api.sharethis.com/js/sharethis.js#product=ga'></script>
       ```
   
 * Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes.
   If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your
   troubles.
 * If you can install plugins, install “Health Check”: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and
   change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, **without affecting normal
   visitors to your site**. You can then use its admin bar menu to turn on/off plugins
   and themes one at a time. If you do this, then just view the source of your site(
   right click, select view source) and press CTRL+F to search for “share”.

 * Alright. WHere in the source would I find those lines? And couldn’t I just delete
   them?

 * No, you’re only viewing the page source. The troubleshooting method I outlined
   will help you find what’s putting them there.

 * Is it possible that it is something my host is putting there that I have no control
   over?

 * Probably not. It’s most likely your theme, but maybe a plugin.
