4. Floating Social Bar
The reason why I’m mentioning Floating social bar plugin than other plugin is
Many social media plugins uses many scripts that takes much time to load on your browser that lead to increase the loading time of your blog. But, Floating Social bar plugin uses very less scripts by showing fake button with real count to the users until a user takes the mouse pointer to socialbar plugin for sharing.
It also sticks to side or top of the screen as the user scroll down which results in maximize the social shares of your blog. Other alternatives to floating social bar plugins are DigDig and flare.
5. W3 Total Cache
As I mentioned earlier, speed plays a big role in search ranking factor. Using W3 total cache will speed up your blog loading time. All you have to do is just install this plugin and enable page cache. For better and improved results, you can use CDN service like MaxCDN which works like a charm with w3 total cache plugin.
6. Smush.it
The thing which sucks your most of your loading time is the image you share in your blog. For better quality you go for stock images which are roughly 3-5mb in size that takes too long to load in web browser.
In this similar situation, smush.it comes to the rescue here, as it compress your image into smaller size with affecting the picture quality that result in quick loading of images without affecting the users.
