A fast and lightweight social sharing plugin that won’t slow down your site. Novashare was developed from the ground up with a performance-focused approach to increase your shares.

Lightweight

Scripts don’t run where they shouldn’t, inline SVG icons with clean code, custom tables to reduce bloat, and lightweight under 5 KB front-end.

Easy UI

Minimal and easy to configure settings. We take advantage of WordPress styling on the back-end so you don’t have to waste time learning a new UI.

Share counts

Increase your social visibility. Display single and total share counts from Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Reddit, and more on your site’s popular content.

Click to Tweet block

We love the WordPress block editor. Our plugin comes with a Click to Tweet block and a shortcode you can use for quotes to increase Twitter shares.

Works on all devices

Responsive and works on all devices, from desktops to mobile phones. Set breakpoints where you want the share buttons to appear.
