## Description

Booster Extension is a free WordPress plugin that supercharges your site with awesome
powerful features. There’re numerous plugins in the official WordPress repository
that promises to provide the features that we offer, however if you install them
all, there’s inconsistency in their backend and frontend styles and possible plugin
conflicts. That’s why we’ve created Booster Extension, adding all the essentials
components for every WordPress blog or magazine.

#### Features

**Social share with share count**
 Sharing buttons increase traffic and engagement
by helping readers share your posts and pages to their friends on social media. 
Booster Extension enables your website users to share the content over Facebook,
Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Email. This is the Simplest and Smoothest Social
Sharing plugin with an awesome visual appearance.

**Calculate and Display Read Time**
 Do you want to display estimated post reading
time in your WordPress blog posts? Booster Extension let’s you easily add an estimated
reading time to your WordPress posts. An estimated reading time encourages users
to read a blog post instead of clicking away.

**Reaction Buttons and Feedback Emoji**
 Booster Extension helps you to collect 
user feedback using the most spoken language in the world: the emoji. Increase your
audience engagement in a fun way for your users.

**Author Box with Social Profiles**
 Booster Extension adds a responsive author 
box at the end of your posts, showing the author name, author gravatar and author
description. It also adds over 30 social profile fields on WordPress user profile
screen, allowing to display the author social icons.

**Like/Dislike Post**
 Booster Extension increases the interaction with the WordPress
post by enabling likes and dislikes buttons along with the count. You can choose
either Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down or Smiley/Frown.

### 󠀁[icon alternatives are ….](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/icon-alternatives-are/)󠁿

 [seacterate](https://profiles.wordpress.org/seacterate/) April 18, 2023

The plugin is nice. but it is bad that there are no icon options. I think an alternative
should be added. or we should be able to add icons. icon alternatives are insufficient.

Hello plugin developers! Please, add the VK social network and copy the link. We
are missing these opportunities.

Kurulumu basit ve kullanımı kolay. Henüz eklenti kaynaklı bir ağırlaşma olmadı. 
Aslında whatsapp eklenseydi çok daha güzel olurdu. İngilizcem çok iyi olmadığı için
Türkçe yazdım, umarım çeviri de sıkıntı yaşanmaz 🙂
