Speed and Performance

It is built with minimal scripts and optimized loading, ensuring it doesn't add significant bloat or slow down your page speed scores. This is its main advantage.

You have multiple options for where the share buttons appear: <ul><li>Inline: Before and/or after the content of the post/page.</li><li>Fixed/Floating: Fixed Left, Fixed Right, or Fixed Bottom positions.</li><li>Mobile-Specific Placement: Separate control for mobile devices.</li><li>Shortcode: Use the [kadence_simple_share] shortcode for custom locations.</li></ul>

Post Type Control

You can easily enable or disable sharing buttons for specific content types, including: Blog Posts, Pages, Products (WooCommerce), and Custom Post Types.

Design Customization

Provides robust styling options: <ul><li>Choose from five different sharing styles (clean, modern, blocky, etc.).</li><li>Customize icon colors (inherit from theme, custom, or network-branded colors).</li><li>Set the icon size (Normal or Large) and alignment.</li></ul>

Network Selection

Allows you to easily choose and order the specific social networks you want to display (Facebook, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, WhatsApp, Email, etc.).

UTM Tagging

Supports adding UTM tags to the share links, allowing you to accurately track social media traffic and conversions in Google Analytics.

Share Counts (Optional)

Supports displaying share counts with fallback options, though some versions prioritize simplicity by default to avoid loading external APIs.
