Ask HN: Do you use the Twitter (or any other social media) widget on your site?
If yes, why?
If no, why not?
Just doing some research about embeds/widgets. Thanks!
- miguelrochefort 10y agoNo. It's not 2007 anymore.
- eb0la 10y agoI stopped using it on a blog because load times skyrocketed. It was a loooong time ago. Cannot remember when exactly. If you are thinking about coding something similar to cross promote content and media streams think careful about how do wou affect page load times and page layout flexibility. Also, I didn't have data about how good was for me to put that embed code in the site. It was great for twitter, who got traction, but nowadays I won put anything from a third party that doesn't give me information about the benefits I will get. Hope this helps
