## விளக்கம்

Most social sharing plugins load JavaScript from Facebook, X or Pinterest to draw
their buttons. That JavaScript sets cookies and reports your readers’ browsing back
to those companies **whether or not anyone clicks anything** — and it costs you 
a chunk of your page speed for the privilege.

None of it is necessary. A share button is a link with query parameters. That is
all Tacet Share builds.

_Tacet_ is the instruction in a musical score telling an instrument to stay silent
for an entire movement. It seemed like the right name.

#### What it deliberately does not do

 * **No third-party scripts.** Nothing from facebook.net, platform.twitter.com or
   assets.pinterest.com ever runs on your site.
 * **No cookies.** Not first-party, not third-party, none.
 * **No share counts.** Counts require a live API call to each network on every 
   page view. They are slow, most of the endpoints have been withdrawn, and a low
   number is worse than no number at all.
 * **No CDN.** Icons are inline SVG in the markup. No icon font, no sprite file,
   no external request.
 * **No stylesheet request.** The CSS is about 1 KB and rides along as an inline
   style.
 * **No tracking, no accounts, no analytics, no phoning home.** The plugin makes
   zero external HTTP requests of any kind.

#### Performance

On a page with buttons, Tacet Share adds inline SVG, roughly 1 KB of inline CSS,
and **no network requests at all**.

On every other page it adds nothing. Both assets are enqueued from the function 
that actually produces the buttons, so a page with no buttons carries literally 
zero bytes from this plugin. Your homepage, your archives and your contact form 
are untouched.

The only JavaScript is the optional copy-link button: about ten inline lines, emitted
only when that button is on the page. Turn it off and the plugin ships no scripts
whatsoever.

#### Privacy

Tacet Share sets no cookies, records nothing about your visitors, and loads no resources
from anyone else’s servers. The buttons are ordinary links: nothing is sent anywhere
until a reader deliberately clicks one and chooses to leave your site.

What that means for your cookie banner or your privacy policy is a question about
your site as a whole, and only you can answer it. What this plugin can tell you 
is what it does, and it is all above — it adds nothing to your pages that a plain
hyperlink would not.

#### Networks

Pinterest, Facebook, WhatsApp, X, Bluesky, Threads, Reddit, LinkedIn, Telegram, 
Email, and a copy-link button.

Two choices worth explaining:

 * **WhatsApp is on by default.** For recipe, parenting, travel and craft content
   it routinely out-shares the desktop networks, and most plugins bury it three 
   settings deep.
 * **Pinterest only appears on posts with a featured image**, because a pin without
   an image is broken. No point offering a button that produces a bad result.

#### Appearance

Filled, outline or minimal styles. Rounded, pill or square. Left, centre or right.
Labels on or off. An optional heading above the row.

Place buttons before your content, after it, both, or manually with the `[tacet_share]`
shortcode or the `tacet_share_buttons()` template tag.

#### Who this is for

Bloggers and publishers who want share buttons that do not slow their pages down
or hand their readers to third parties. If you have been putting off adding share
buttons because every option felt heavy, this is the light one.

#### Trademarks and warranty

Facebook, X, Pinterest, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Reddit, Telegram, Threads and Bluesky
are trademarks of their respective owners. Their names and icons appear here only
to identify where each link goes. This plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed by,
or sponsored by any of them.

Tacet Share is free software released under the GPL. As sections 11 and 12 of that
licence set out, it is provided **without warranty of any kind** and the author 
accepts no liability for any damages arising from its use. The full licence text
ships with the plugin.

## Installation

 1. Install through **Plugins  Add New Plugin  Upload Plugin**, or upload the `tacet-
    share` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate.
 3. Go to **Settings  Share Buttons**.

Sensible defaults are already set, so it works immediately without configuring anything.

## அடிக்கடி கேட்கப்படும் கேள்விகள்

### Will this slow down my site?

It cannot meaningfully. On a page with buttons it adds inline SVG and about 1 KB
of inline CSS, with no external requests. On pages without buttons it adds nothing
at all.

### Does this plugin set cookies or load anything from other companies?

No, to both. It sets no cookies of any kind and makes no external requests at all.
Whether that changes anything about your cookie banner or privacy policy depends
on the rest of your site, and that judgement is yours — but this plugin puts nothing
on the page that a plain hyperlink would not.

### Why are there no share counts?

Because they cost more than they are worth. Each count is a live API call to that
network on every page view, most of the count endpoints have been withdrawn or restricted,
and a button reading “3” actively discourages sharing. Leaving them out is a deliberate
design decision, not a missing feature.

### Why only five networks turned on by default?

Fewer buttons convert better. Eleven icons is a decision problem for the reader;
four or five is a prompt. All eleven are available — start small and add what your
audience actually uses.

### Does it work with caching plugins?

Yes. The output is static HTML with no per-visitor content, so it caches perfectly.

### Does it work with the block editor and with classic content?

Yes, both. The buttons are added around your post content, so the editor you write
in makes no difference.

### Can I put the buttons somewhere specific?

Yes. Set Position to “Manual” and use the `[tacet_share]` shortcode in your content,
or `<?php tacet_share_buttons(); ?>` in a theme template.

### Why is Pinterest not showing on some posts?

Pinterest requires an image. The button is hidden on posts with no featured image
rather than creating a broken pin.

### Is it accessible?

Buttons are real links and buttons with descriptive `aria-label` text, keyboard 
focusable, with a visible focus ring. Labels are shown by default because labelled
buttons are both more accessible and more clicked than bare icons. Animation is 
disabled for visitors who ask for reduced motion.

### What happens to my settings if I delete the plugin?

They are removed, since the plugin stores a single settings option and creates no
database tables. Nothing else on your site is affected.
