Overview
Scriptless Social Sharing is a straightforward WordPress plugin designed to facilitate social sharing by adding essential sharing buttons to posts and pages, enabling readers to easily share content across social networks. The plugin employs the simplest sharing methods provided by each network, eschewing JavaScript and complex functionalities for a minimalist approach that just generates a set of links. Despite its simplicity, the sharing buttons remain accessible; even when "Icons Only" styles are selected, the network names are hidden in a manner that supports accessibility. Users can access a modest settings page to customize which content types feature sharing buttons, configure button appearance, and decide whether to use the plugin's styles. Additionally, the plugin offers filters that developers may find useful for further customization.

After uninstalling JetPack and using its sharing function, I had look for something else. I looked for a minimalistic sharing pluging ,which doesn’t slow down my site and I am happy that I found this.

I tried several social sharing plugins along with the Accessibility Checker scan and this was the only one without accessibility issues related to color contrast.
