Fast social share buttons is a powerful social share plugin that allow you to display social share buttons for most common social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, Whatsapp, Pinterest, Linkedin, Xing without slowing down your site performance and avoiding to irritate users.

Fast social share is the first plugin for Joomla! written entirely in an optimized way so that site performance will remain the same. Most social share plugins use standard code to embed buttons and make your site painfully slow.

Moreover it's capable to manage and add automatically Open Graph tags to instruct social networks about title, description and image to pick and share. The shared image will be the first image encountered inside the article text if any. You can even add an article image and use it.

Now that Google requires https on websites, it's common that switching to https you experiment a count loss about likes and shares collected in the past for your pages.
