Best Share Buttons WordPress Plugins

5 plugins · 580K combined installs · 4.7/5 avg rating

Share buttons plugins add social sharing functionality to WordPress posts and pages, allowing visitors to share content to platforms like Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Pinterest, WhatsApp, and email with a single click. They are used by bloggers, news publishers, and content marketers who want to make content virality frictionless and encourage organic distribution across social networks. The best share buttons plugins load icons asynchronously or use privacy-friendly no-JavaScript implementations to avoid impacting page speed, since traditional social sharing scripts can add significant render-blocking overhead. Features to consider include floating sidebars, inline share counts, Open Graph meta tag integration, and the ability to customise which platforms appear based on content type or device.
