AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Simple Like Page – Fast & Privacy-Friendly Page Embeds is a well-rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Social category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 24 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Simple Like Page – Fast & Privacy-Friendly Page Embeds works
Show full descriptionShow less
Embedding social Page content often slows down WordPress sites and loads third-party scripts before visitors interact.
Simple Like Page helps you embed Meta™ Page content without hurting performance, by delaying script loading until interaction or visibility.
This reduces unnecessary requests, improves Core Web Vitals, and gives you control over when external scripts load.
This plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Meta Platforms, Inc.

Key Features Privacy-First Loading
Delays Facebook script loading until user interaction
Optional lazy loading when the embed enters the viewport
Helps reduce third-party requests on initial page load
Performance Focused
Lightweight HTML placeholder before activation
No render-blocking Facebook SDK on initial page load
Multiple Integration Options
Gutenberg block
Shortcode
Classic widget
Theme template tag
Extensible
Hooks and filters for add-ons
Architecture designed for future consent-based extensions
How It Works
Renders a placeholder instead of the Facebook embed
Loads Facebook scripts only after user interaction (or when in view, if enabled)
Renders the Page Plugin once scripts are available
This approach is designed to improve performance and reduce unnecessary third-party requests.
Usage You can add the Facebook Page Plugin in four different ways.
1. Gutenberg Block (Recommended)
Edit any post or page
Click Add Block (+)
Search for Simple Like Page
Insert the block
Paste your Facebook Page URL
Adjust layout and privacy options in the block sidebar
2. Shortcode Use the shortcode inside any post or page:
sfp-page-plugin
Shortcode parameters:
url
width
height
hide_cover
show_facepile
small_header
timeline
events
messages
locale
click_to_load
lazy_load
placeholder_text
placeholder_bg_color
placeholder_text_color
Example:
[sfp-page-plugin url="https://www.facebook.com/WordPress" width="320" timeline="true"]
3. Widget
Go to Appearance -> Widgets
Add SFP – Like Page Plugin
Enter your Facebook Page URL
Configure display options
Save
4. Template Tag (Advanced) For theme developers:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'sfp_page_plugin' ) ) { $args = array( 'url' => 'https://www.facebook.com/WordPress/', 'width' => '300', 'timeline' => true, 'locale' => 'en_US' ); sfp_page_plugin( $args ); } ?>
Performance & Privacy By default, the plugin delays Facebook loading until interaction. If you enable lazy loading, scripts are loaded when the embed is in view.
Facebook may set cookies or process data once the embed loads. You are responsible for updating your privacy policy as needed.
Settings The plugin includes a Performance & Privacy section where you can control:
Click-to-load (default off)
Lazy loading (default on)
Placeholder text
Placeholder colors
You can also set a default Facebook Page URL and locale in the settings screen.
