Mobile Optimized Social Sharing WordPress Plugins

Today I am going to show you what are some of the best WordPress plugins that you can use to give your website both desktop and mobile users a perfect social sharing experience.


Swifty Bar:
It's a very lightweight plugin that's fast with a sauce of code and a lot of wonderful features, but Swipty Bar's a relatively new plugin.
It shows:
a category of your article
a title and author info
the time to read and a progress bar
the number of comments on your article
social sharing icons
previous/next post links with a preview on hover
If you want to see it on your desktop or your smartphone in action, I use it on my own blog. This is mainly because Swifty Bar is so quick, because the number of shares in the items does not appear. You might want to install if this is not a deal breaker than this plugin.

SumoMe Share:
SumoMe offers a number of internet marketing tools that will help you to develop your email list, share content, or even track your visitors using heat maps. Your share tool is interesting because it offers you a wide range of options, such as: Desktop and mobile optimization–Your sharing icons look great on any device buttons–Automatically optimize which sharing options on a per page basis are most efficient 
Historical share data
UTM tracking (for Google Analytics)
I used SumoMe previously and on every device it looks really awesome. Besides, you can select the size, position and social sharing buttons from their wide range of options by selecting the personalization possibilities.

Mashshare:
Mashshare was inspired, as its name implies, by the buttons of social sharing of Mashable and looks stunning, as you can see from above. Finally, you can have professional and clean social sharing icons, no bad or amateur designs. High-performance social media icons-easy to use and includes share buttons for most network— high-resolution lossless vector fonts icons show the total number of social media share object and temporary code, which provides unbelievably rapid implementation of social media icons Shortcodes Some of the major Mash Share features highlighted on their plugin page are: 
Extensible with many adds, like Google Analytics, more social networks, Responsive, YouTube video sharing and more... Smart (virtual) share count feature is highly customizable. To new articles, add virtual shares. To increase real shares, use psychological aspects. Mashshare looks incredible, honestly, and I can't wait to try it. What do you think? What are you actually thinking? 


Monarch:
Monarch is a premium WordPress plugin produced by famous theme designers from WordPress, Elegant Themes. With Monarch, they not only made a social sharing plugin for WordPress, they also made a complete solution for social sharing. In Monarch, literally, you will fall in love immediately with so many features. The main features of Monarch are: online or floating links sharing media Social sharing popups and flies (with automated triggers) I don't know about you, but for me Monarch looks sleek, elegant and mighty. Total and individual counts. Perhaps you want to consider the Monarch plugin if you want premium social sharing features for your website. 

Social Warfare:
Social Warfare is another premium WordPress plugin for your WordPress website that provides beautifully responsive, quick-sharing buttons. On their website they say that your shares and traffic will be boosted without jeopardizing your website speed. Those features are very interesting and might be useful for your website, although I don't know if that's true (testimonies on your website confirm that they do). 
Some of the cool features you get with Social Warfare include:
Minimum share count
Analytics integration
Popular posts
Shareable posts
Content protection
Shareable quotes
Custom tweets
… and more
You can try Warfare and see if it fits your business for a really affordable price. I think it's cool and could give it a try.

AddThis Sharing Buttons:
AddThis "Sharing Buttons "has a history and is one of the most popular WordPress plugins with more than 200,000 active installations at the time of writing. Their popularity was not by accident–they've got a lot to offer free (with basic options). Yet the PRO package (paid) contains the responsive sharing buttons. 

Here are some of the best features you get with AddThis WordPress plugin:

Responsive sharing buttons
Sharing sidebar counters
Jumbo share counter
Mobile sharing toolbar

… and more
The free version of AddThis Sharing Buttons might be good for you, but if you want real power, then I suggest you go with the PRO version. Before you decide, make sure to check out the other plugins on this list first.

Easy Social Share Buttons for WordPress:
The WordPress Easy Social Share Butts is one of the most popular CodeCanyon WordPress plugins with over 10,000 sales. I must acknowledge that I have purchased this plugin which I use to look at it and see it in action on my personal Internet marketing bloge.

To give you a better perspective of what this plugin can do for you, here’s a list of the most important features:

Flare offers one of the nicest- looking share buttons out there for WordPress( and other web sites types. You are not just for the look, you know what mobile optimization is important and you talk about it on your site as well:
" Mobile devices provide over half of all web traffic, but it still is difficult and irritating to share on mobile browsers!

" Make sure you check all features each version has to offer before choosing which one to use. Here is an overview of your plugin 's features:

Your visitors will follow the Flare shown on the left and right side of your post while scrolling and hide when they don't need it. 

GetSocial:
I found this cool little plugin while doing my research on this article. It is a freemium WordPress plugin, which means that some features are provided free of charge and others are available if you pay. I like the design of GetSocial. All icons are either flat or gradient and beautiful, in two versions. There are also great features as well as the great look.
