Best jQuery Social Media Sharing Plugins

If you’re not running a WordPress blog, then social sharing plugins might be out of your reach. While there’s plenty of those available for free download, there’s also plenty of jQuery plugins for social media sharing and social optimization.

Socialite

Not many social sharing widgets talk about the performance load that they put on the site. It’s often not because of the code that’s powering the plugin but because of how long it can take for certain social sharing websites to load in the background.

Share42

Share42 is another grounded generator of social buttons for websites of any type. First, you have to decide on the size of the buttons, of which there are three choices.

AddThis

AddThis has appeared on Colorlib on multiple occasions. We outlined this platform as one of the best social media sharing tools for global-style websites. It’s also a reputable social engagement platform for business owners online.

donReach Social Tools

We did a brief mention of donReach on their versatile API for collecting share counts, but did you know that they also provide their own social share buttons? These responsive mobile-friendly bad boys will add a unique twist to your website design, and since so few websites are using these buttons at the moment, it could really add that sense of authenticity that you need in these modern publishing times.
