SocialCount is a small jQuery plugin providing progressively enhanced, lazy-loaded social sharing widgets for Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus. It is a lightweight alternative to heavy official social network widgets, optimized for mobile performance.
Use cases
- add lightweight social share buttons to a website
- replace slow Facebook and Twitter official widgets with a fast alternative
- show share counts from social networks on pages
- make social sharing work on touch and keyboard devices
- reduce HTTP requests from third-party social widgets
- lazy load social widgets only on hover
When to choose
- you need a tiny, fast social sharing widget on a jQuery-based site
- you want progressive enhancement so sharing works without JavaScript
- you need mobile-friendly share buttons with minimal requests
When to avoid
- you need current share counts, since the count-fetching server code was removed and the APIs are gone
- you need Google Plus support, which no longer exists
- you want an actively maintained project, as this repo is unmaintained
- your stack does not use jQuery 1.6+
