About Fast & Easy Social Sharing
From the official readme · v1.0.2Description
A simple and fast social media sharing plugin. The share buttons are loaded as fonts thus load fast and can scale as large as you want them to be. No JavaScript is loaded from any of the social networks. Only two requests are being made, one for the fonts and another for the stylesheet, that’s it.

Installation
Manual Install:
- Upload entire folder to the
/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- Go to Settings > Fast & Easy Social Sharing then update your settings.
I suggest signing up for SharedCount since there’s a good chance that our API key will hit the daily limit. I am not associated with SharedCount nor are they aware of this plugins development. In the future, I may development our own way of counting the social networks.
