Highlight and Share – Unobtrusive and Lightweight Content Sharing vs Really Simple Security – Simple and Performant Security (formerly Really Simple SSL)

Highlight and Share is a lightweight and unobtrusive social network WordPress plugin designed to help readers share meaningful parts of your content. Instead of placing large social sharing buttons throughout your website, Highlight and Share appears only when users interact with your content. This keeps pages clean while still encouraging natural social sharing. Visitors can highlight text, share images, copy quotes, or link directly to headlines. Sharing options appear exactly when they are needed, allowing readers to share interesting passages, statistics, or insights without interrupting the reading experience. Highlight and Share works great for content sharing, social highlights, image sharing, headline sharing, and for those wanting a comprehensive Click to Share block/shortcode with inline highlighting supported. The plugin is built with flexibility and performance in mind. Most features are optional and can be enabled or disabled depending on your needs. This makes Highlight and Share a great solution for blogs, news sites, documentation sites, and long-form content where readers may want to reference specific sections or quickly copy and share passages. Show social media networks upon text selection (a text highlighter). This provides an unobtrusive way to allow content highlighting without getting in a user’s way. With shortcuts like Copy and Email, Highlight and Share can become part of an essential timesaving workflow for a user who needs quick shortcuts to common items like Web Share and other content highlighter shortcuts. Show Pinterest and Webshare on images. With image sharing enabled, Highlight and Share will seamlessly integrate Pinterest and Webshare on any found images. With features like skipping the leading image, you’ll find that Image Sharing is intuitive and useful for your users. Show sharing options with headline sharing. Headline sharing allows users to bookmark certain headlines and revisit them later. Additional networks like Webshare or X can provide additional context such as sharing the headline itself. A Click to Share Block/Shortcode is included. An easy-to-use Click to Share block is included, with setup available in seconds. The Content Sharing networks display above the share box when clicked, providing an easy way to share the quote. Set up email sharing with easy spam protection integration.
