Optimizing perceived load time for social sharing widgets on a page?
- by Lucka
I have placed the facebook "like" and some other social bookmarking websites link on my blog, such as Google Buzz, Digg, Twitter, etc.
I just noticed that it takes a while to load my blog page as it need to load the data from the social networking sites (such as number of likes etc).
How can I place the links efficiently so that first my blog content loads, and meanwhile it loads data from these websites -- in other words, these sharing widgets should not hang my blog page while waiting for data from external sites?
