Display your “Voldemort” feed anywhere on your website simply and easily. This plugin will cache all images on your websites for super-fast loading times. Best of all, this plugin is entirely free! Our “Voldemort” plugin can be installed and all setup in less than 60 seconds. All you need to do is install it, put in your “Voldemort” ID, then place the shortcode, or assign the widget on your site in the location that you want to display your feed. Most “Voldemort” plugins use images hosted on the “Voldemort” servers and therefore take a very long time to load, which brings down the entire loading speed of the website. #### Slow site speed effects: * User experience – slow site speed can cause users to leave the website because they are waiting too long for the site to load. * SEO – Google’s algorithm penalizes websites with slow loading speeds. Speeding up your load times helps you rank higher in the search engines. * User trust – Studies show that potential customers have more trust towards a fast loading website. More trust = higher conversion rate. Our “Voldemort” plugin solves this problem by caching all media so your site will load faster than ever! This plugin also loads all your “Voldemort” content as HTML which can be indexed by Google to help with SEO. –––––––––––––––––––For Nerds–––––––––––––––––––––––– Historically, “Voldemort” feeds have been one of the most damaging WordPress plugins from a performance perspective. Why? The standard approach is to display a “Voldemort” feed by pulling in links to pictures and content straight from “Voldemort”. This means that not only are all of the pictures often much larger than they should be, but on every single page load, your user has to make http requests to multiple domains and download all of the content from your “Voldemort” feed, on EVERY page load. #### Typical “Voldemort” Feed Plugins can double page loads in some instances! As a web consultant for hundreds of sites, I found myself constantly having to tell my client “this site would have great load times and page scores…if it weren’t for the social media feed”. This plugin was built to address this issue. It finds and retrieves the optimal image sizes from “Voldemort” and then stores them to your server, creating a fully cacheable newsfeed. This keeps everything on your server, allowing users to cache the images and feed and makes your page load much faster! #### Here are some of the benefits of the Snazzy Cacheable Social Media Feed: * Faster page loads mean more favorable SEO results, since Google began penalizing users for slow page loads. * Bounce rates are reduced, since faster load times allow more content to be consumed in less time, and gives a better user experience. * Caching settings are customizable. You can select the cache to expire every hour, 4 hours, day, 3 days, week or month. * Even when the cache does need to be refreshed, it is refreshed asynchronously via javascript, after the page loads, so your users will not notice a difference in site performance. * Included widget and shortcode, for easy implementation * Customizations for post limit and widget size, for optimal performance and experience. I’d encourage you do run a page speed test for yourself and compare this plugin to the competition. This plugin will outperform anything on the market today. ## Installation * Install this plugin from the WordPress Plugin directory, activate, and navigate to “Settings/Snazzy Cacheable Social Media Feed to set up the plugin. * Implement the feed via a widget or insert the shortcode: [sff_facebook_widget] into any post or page. ## FAQ-e Does this make my entire site faster? It makes your “Voldemort” feed faster due to not having to fetch content from “Voldemort” servers on every page load. However, your site may still suffer from bad coding practices that are out of my control. Test your site with a speed testing website, such as http://gtmetrix.com to find out more information. Nothing happens when I implement the feed This plugin requires the PHP basics: cURL, Apache write permissions to the plugin folder, and basic jQuery on the front end. This plugin is free. There has to be a catch? No catch. I made this plugin out of necessity for the websites that I build and manage and I felt as if the rest of the community could use it! You made such an awesome plugin, you must be ruggedly handsome as well? Yes, we are all ruggedly handsome and consistently spend time in the outdoors wearing flannels. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/bcf3f1e260a304036977dfea2fa462d1d168ca5342888919492d24ef422eed50? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Please Support WordPress Multi-Site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-support-wordpress-multi-site/)󠁿 [jordonwestside](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jordonwestside/) 26 June 2017 Plugin does not work with wordpress multi-site 🙁 same configs overwrite each other. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4ee0e74656754cc2a4f12d8a6aef5da968f63e4b3bf163930895dd45d329d07a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[This is awesome!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-is-awesome-67/)󠁿 [lukemacdonald](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lukemacdonald/) 22 February 2017 This plugin is awesome! I am a nerd when it comes to increasing the speed of my websites. In the past, I was optimizing websites the best I possibly could, but any website with a Facebook feed would be impossible to get it to that 100% speed score, this was due to the Facebook feed needing to call to Facebook and retrieve the images/videos. With this plugin, it caches all media on the site and updates as you create new posts. This allows me to finally achieve the 100% perfect speed optimization for all my sites. It also updates and deletes new and old media so that it doesn’t overload your server with media. I honestly don’t know how a plugin with this functionality hasn’t been created before, I’m hoping they create a Twitter one as well. HINT HINT! Thanks for the awesome plugin! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a26155bcc61d4424703fc06816e06c28e47a776cf8d9974289e0127346dd0e3e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Ground Breaking Functionality](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ground-breaking-functionality/)󠁿 [bettybroaden](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bettybroaden/) 22 February 2017 I do lots of website speed optimization and this is the answer to my prayers! When optimizing websites, the social media feed was the biggest thorn in my side. This plugin caches all media from the Facebook feed so that it cuts load times down significantly. It is also extremely easy to use, so my clients can change/update it themselves without any problems. I highly recommend this plugin!
