This Benchmarks were executed on Intel i5 2.3Ghz, 8GB DDR3, using an APC opcode/object cache without any DB or file Cache Plugin like W3Total, WordPress v4.0, and P3 v1.5.2 ( Attempt to disable opcode optimizers - Otherwise some plugins can not be tested) and in manual mode to make sure that for every plugin the same page is loaded. Automatic excecution of P3 would randomly load WordPress pages which is inaccurate for testing on same conditions. All plugins were benchmarked on sepearate instances with no other plugins enabled. The benchmarks were runned a few times to make sure that any internal plugin caching function is fired. E.g. MashShare gets only really fast after second load of a page because the sharecount must be returned from external service first and than stored into internal object cache. This benchmarks give only a vast overview of performance differences and results will vary on other WordPress installations depending on different hardware and software configurations.

Please note: For this test the P3 Option 'Attempt to disable opcode optimizers' is enabled (Otherwise some plugin benchmarks returns no benchmark times ). So real execution time of every single Plugin is faster (probaby with a similar factor for all benchmarked plugins) but can not be measured exactely with my testing environment.

Shortcodes

• Use [mashshare] anywhere in pages or post's text to show the buttons and total share count wherever you like. Share Buttons will be shown exactly on the place where you copy the shortcode in your content.

There are more parameters available:

Embed Share Buttons in pages or posts: [mashshare] Buttons without sharecount: [mashshare shares="false"] Sharecount only: [mashshare buttons="false"] Share buttons alignment: [mashshare shares="false" buttons="true" align="left|right"] Shortcode in template files via php: echo do_shortcode('[mashshare]'); Custom url: [mashshare url="http://www.google.de"] Custom share text: [mashshare text="This is my custom share text"]

• For manual insertion of the Share Buttons in your template files use the following php code on place you like to see the share buttons:echo do_shortcode('[mashshare]'); Configure the Share buttons sharing function in the settings page of the plugin.
• Change the color of MashShare count with setting option.
