    I tested this today and it really looks beautiful.

    But it slow down my site with apptox 1,5 sec.

    Tested with YSlow it shows 4 headers with bad expire settings that can be the problem. https://gtmetrix.com/

    Add Expires headers – There are 4 static components without a far-future expiration date.

    It does not slow down your site. The plugin loads AddToAny assets asynchronously so your content loads before or at the same time as AddToAny.

    YSlow hasn’t been updated in years, and it doesn’t take into account modern performance optimizations such as the non-blocking loading method that AddToAny uses.

    Thanks for the fast answer!

    Same problem here. Between accessing media6degrees multiple times and the addtoany program itself running multiple times on every page load, it was giving too big a hit on my page load times. I was forced to deactivate it.

    Yea, tested some more and Sharebuttons do slow the site down. CBA testing more so i use Jetpack new feature Sharing and it works exactly how I want without slowing.

    I did a bunch more testing and although I am still considering dumping AddtoAny because of it accessing media6degrees all the time, in all fairness I now see that the load time issue I am experiencing is not related to any specific plugin, but rather an accumulation of plugins causing the problem as I continue to add various features.

    @pjc123 you can actually disable the 3rd party call with one line of code added to your Additional Options box: a2a_config.no_3p = 1;

    Backend-wise, too, AddToAny only loads what it needs. Libraries, etc. are avoided by design.

    Note that if you have enabled any of the official Like, Tweet, etc. button counters, switching to the default (rounded square) icons (or your own custom icons) offers a huge gain in browser performance.

    Again, site speed won’t be an issue because your content always takes loading precedence, but multiple instances of those official buttons are a bear for rending in browsers.

    @micropat. Thanks for the quick reply and that worked.
