    I´m deploying a VPS server optimized for WordPress and analyzing my customers websites loading times.

    I have realized that most plugins for social networks are slowing down my customers websites.

    For instance disabling Sharethis made my website went from 1.5 seconds for loading to 0.6 seconds.

    I have googled a little bit and the most worrying thing is that most of these plugins are slowing down websites because they connect to several websites that are tracking your website:

    Anyone knows a good alternative?
