About this plugin
ClickReach – Social Share Buttons & Counter adds fast, beautiful social share buttons with live share counts to your WordPress posts, pages, and custom post types. Let visitors share your content on WhatsApp, Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Reddit, or copy the link in one click, while the built-in share counter shows how often each post is shared.
ClickReach is 100% free, has no Pro version, and is built for speed and privacy: pure inline SVG icons, no jQuery, no external scripts, and no cookies. Your share buttons load instantly and will not hurt your Core Web Vitals or PageSpeed score.
Why choose ClickReach?
- Share counts that just work: Counts come from clicks on your own share buttons, so there are no social network API keys, access tokens, or third-party count services to set up.
- Honest, abuse-resistant numbers: Each visitor is counted once per post and network per hour, so bots and scripts cannot inflate your share counts.
- Works with page caching: Share counting works on cached pages (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, and others).
- Privacy first: No cookies, no browser storage, no tracking scripts, and no personal data collection.
- Everything free: No locked features, no upsell screens, and no subscription.
