Lightshare is a very lightweight social sharing plugin built with performance in mind. It provides essential social sharing functionality without the bloat commonly found in other sharing plugins.
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Lightweight and fast – minimal impact on page load times</li>
<li>Support for major social networks</li>
<li>Clean, modern design with multiple style options</li>
<li>Share count display (where available)</li>
<li>Customizable button placement</li>
<li>Mobile-friendly and responsive</li>
<li>No third-party scripts loaded by default</li>
<li>Support for custom post types</li>
<li>Shortcode support for manual placement</li>
</ul>
<h3>Performance First</h3>
Lightshare is built with performance as a top priority:
<ul>
<li>Minimal CSS/JS footprint</li>
<li>SVG icons instead of icon fonts</li>
<li>Internal click tracking for counts (no API calls)</li>
<li>Assets are only enqueued when needed</li>
<li>No third-party tracking scripts</li>
</ul>
<h3>Shortcode</h3>
You can manually place sharing buttons anywhere using the shortcode:
<pre><code>[lightshare]
</code></pre>
With custom options:
<pre><code>[lightshare networks="facebook,twitter,linkedin" style="rounded"]<h3>Block</h3>
</code></pre>
Lightshare includes a block for the block editor:
<ul>
<li>Block name: “Lightshare Buttons”</li>
<li>Allows selecting networks (comma-separated), label visibility, and label text</li>
<li>Rendered server-side for accurate output</li>
</ul>
<h3>Developer Friendly</h3>
<ul>
<li>Well-documented code following WordPress coding standards</li>
<li>Extensible through filters and actions</li>
<li>Clean, semantic HTML output</li>
<li>Customizable through CSS classes</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
Lightshare does not call third-party APIs in the background. External requests only happen when a visitor clicks a share button. When a share button is clicked, the destination service receives the share data in the URL query string (for example: current page URL, page title, and for Pinterest also an image URL when available).
