<p>Embedding social Page content often slows down WordPress sites and loads third-party scripts before visitors interact.</p>
<p>Simple Like Page helps you embed Meta™ Page content without hurting performance, by delaying script loading until interaction or visibility.</p>
<p>This reduces unnecessary requests, improves Core Web Vitals, and gives you control over when external scripts load.</p>
<p>This plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Meta Platforms, Inc.<br />
All trademarks belong to their respective owners.</p>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<h4>Privacy-First Loading</h4>
<ul>
<li>Delays Facebook script loading until user interaction</li>
<li>Optional lazy loading when the embed enters the viewport</li>
<li>Helps reduce third-party requests on initial page load</li>
</ul>
<h4>Performance Focused</h4>
<ul>
<li>Lightweight HTML placeholder before activation</li>
<li>No render-blocking Facebook SDK on initial page load</li>
</ul>
<h4>Multiple Integration Options</h4>
<ul>
<li>Gutenberg block</li>
<li>Shortcode</li>
<li>Classic widget</li>
<li>Theme template tag</li>
</ul>
<h4>Extensible</h4>
<ul>
<li>Hooks and filters for add-ons</li>
<li>Architecture designed for future consent-based extensions</li>
</ul>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<ol>
<li>Renders a placeholder instead of the Facebook embed</li>
<li>Loads Facebook scripts only after user interaction (or when in view, if enabled)</li>
<li>Renders the Page Plugin once scripts are available</li>
</ol>
<p>This approach is designed to improve performance and reduce unnecessary third-party requests.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>You can add the Facebook Page Plugin in four different ways.</p>
<h4>1. Gutenberg Block (Recommended)</h4>
<ol>
<li>Edit any post or page</li>
<li>Click <strong>Add Block (+)</strong></li>
<li>Search for <strong>Simple Like Page</strong></li>
<li>Insert the block</li>
<li>Paste your Facebook Page URL</li>
<li>Adjust layout and privacy options in the block sidebar</li>
</ol>
<h4>2. Shortcode</h4>
<p>Use the shortcode inside any post or page:</p>
<pre><code>sfp-page-plugin
</code></pre>
<p>Shortcode parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>url</code></li>
<li><code>width</code></li>
<li><code>height</code></li>
<li><code>hide_cover</code></li>
<li><code>show_facepile</code></li>
<li><code>small_header</code></li>
<li><code>timeline</code></li>
<li><code>events</code></li>
<li><code>messages</code></li>
<li><code>locale</code></li>
<li><code>click_to_load</code></li>
<li><code>lazy_load</code></li>
<li><code>placeholder_text</code></li>
<li><code>placeholder_bg_color</code></li>
<li><code>placeholder_text_color</code></li>
</ul>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>[sfp-page-plugin url="https://www.facebook.com/WordPress" width="320" timeline="true"]
</code></pre>
<h4>3. Widget</h4>
<ol>
<li>Go to <strong>Appearance -> Widgets</strong></li>
<li>Add <strong>SFP – Like Page Plugin</strong></li>
<li>Enter your Facebook Page URL</li>
<li>Configure display options</li>
<li>Save</li>
</ol>
<h4>4. Template Tag (Advanced)</h4>
<p>For theme developers:</p>
<pre><code><?php if ( function_exists( 'sfp_page_plugin' ) ) {
    $args = array(
        'url' => 'https://www.facebook.com/WordPress/',
        'width' => '300',
        'timeline' => true,
        'locale' => 'en_US'
    );
    sfp_page_plugin( $args );
} ?>
</code></pre>
<h3>Performance & Privacy</h3>
<p>By default, the plugin delays Facebook loading until interaction. If you enable lazy loading, scripts are loaded when the embed is in view.</p>
<p>Facebook may set cookies or process data once the embed loads. You are responsible for updating your privacy policy as needed.</p>
<h3>Settings</h3>
<p>The plugin includes a <strong>Performance & Privacy</strong> section where you can control:</p>
<ul>
<li>Click-to-load (default off)</li>
<li>Lazy loading (default on)</li>
<li>Placeholder text</li>
<li>Placeholder colors</li>
</ul>
<p>You can also set a default Facebook Page URL and locale in the settings screen.</p>
<h3>Compatibility</h3>
<ul>
<li>Works with modern WordPress themes</li>
<li>Compatible with caching and performance plugins</li>
<li>Supports Gutenberg and Classic Editor</li>
</ul>

Simple Like Page – Fast & Privacy-Friendly Page Embeds

A shame they decided to add a SPAM ad for Oxygen to the dashboard. Yes, you can dismiss it, but it is very poor practice to put it there in the first place.
