Features

Everything you need,
nothing you don't

One lightweight plugin handles sharing, counting, and AI hand-off. No third-party APIs, no tracking scripts, no bloat.

01Like buttonA dedicated heart with its own count, tracked separately from shares, using the same server-side throttle as every other button.

02Two layoutsHorizontal bar inside post content, or a vertical sticky bar floating beside any container, with its own mobile top position.

03Live countsA POST-based endpoint that page caches and CDNs never serve stale. Numbers stay current on fully cached pages, no cache clearing.

04Per-IP throttleServer-side rate limiting stops scripted inflation. Default 3-hour window per IP, page, and network. Filterable or off entirely.

05AI buttonsSend any page to ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, or Gemini with a customizable prompt. Opens in a new tab with your URL pre-filled.

06LightweightOne small CSS file, one small deferred JS file, loaded only where buttons appear. No jQuery, no external fonts, no icon libraries.

07Local databaseAll counts live in your own wp_sswp_counts table. No third-party service, no external API calls, no data leaving your server.

08Every page typeCounts work on posts, pages, the homepage, and archives. A subject-key model derives a stable key from the post ID or URL.

09ConfigurablePlacement, post types, button selection, corner radius, background card with auto-contrast text, and show-on-scroll, all from settings.

Supported networks

11 buttons, 4 groups
