So:</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://static.addtoany.com/images/addtoany-to-the-rescue-addthis-alternative.png" alt=""></figure> <p>We warmly welcome AddThis users to AddToAny, the original universal sharing platform.</p> <p>AddToAny is the perfect drop-in replacement for AddThis. Since launching similar platforms way back in 2006, AddToAny & AddThis have quite a bit of overlap in design & features. There are some major upgrades in migrating to AddToAny too:</p> <ol> <li>User privacy. We limit the data we process, don’t track users, and don’t sell data. We’ve also long supported <a href="https://www.addtoany.com/buttons/customize/host_cache">local caching</a> of our assets.</li> <li>Native sharing on major platforms. AddToAny supports the native share menus on iOS & Android, and provides our universal menu for other platforms.</li> <li>AddToAny is technically light as a feather and built with extraordinary care. Our main script weighs in at a super-light 1.8 kB compressed. It takes advantage of modern HTTP multiplexing, so it loads only what’s needed as fast as possible over a single connection (with graceful fallbacks for older HTTP/1.x). All without compromising your PageSpeed score.</li> <li>Deep flexibility with AddToAny <a href="https://www.addtoany.com/buttons/customize/floating_share_buttons">floating buttons</a>, <a href="https://www.addtoany.com/buttons/customize/follow_buttons">follow buttons</a>, <a href="https://www.addtoany.com/buttons/customize/image_sharing">image sharing</a>, <a href="https://www.addtoany.com/buttons/customize/share_counters">share counters</a>, and <a href="https://www.addtoany.com/buttons/customize/">much more</a>.</li> </ol> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Switching to AddToAny on any platform</h4> <p>Generally, any website can get the <a href="https://www.addtoany.com/buttons/">AddToAny HTML code</a> and <a href="https://www.addtoany.com/buttons/customize/">customize</a> it, and we have a guide on <a href="https://www.addtoany.com/ext/addthis/">how to remove AddThis and install AddToAny</a>.</p> <p>We also have some official platform recommendations…</p> <p>WordPress sites: Get the popular <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-to-any/">AddToAny plugin</a>.</p> <p>Drupal sites: Get the popular <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/addtoany">AddToAny module</a>.</p> <p>Cloudflare sites: Check out the no-code <a href="https://www.cloudflare.com/apps/addtoany" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.cloudflare.com/apps/addtoany">AddToAny app</a>.</p> <p>See also: <a href="https://www.addtoany.com/buttons/for/joomla">Joomla</a>, <a href="https://www.addtoany.com/buttons/for/tumblr">Tumblr</a>, <a href="https://www.addtoany.com/buttons/for/blogger">Blogger</a>, and <a href="https://www.addtoany.com/buttons/">other platforms</a>.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Replacing AddThis code with AddToAny code</h4> <p>If you have AddThis code manually installed on your site, the switch to AddToAny involves some search & replace.

A previous URL’s share counts are simply added to the current URL’s share counts, so you won’t lose your new counts.</p> <p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium" src="https://static.addtoany.com/images/blog/addtoany-share-count-recovery.png" alt="AddToAny Share Count Recovery" width="1784" height="652"></p> <h4> <span style="color: #3b7e40;">HTTPS</span> <span style="color: #0166ff;">+</span> <span style="color: #616c7d;">HTTP</span> </h4> <p>As websites transition from plain HTTP to encrypted HTTPS, publishers are finding that share counts — especially Facebook Likes — reset to zero. This is because Facebook considers http://example.com/ and https://example.com/ to be completely different URLs.</p> <p>Facebook offers <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/getting-started/versioned-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">technical guidance</a> on how developers can redirect URLs and exempt their <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/crawler">crawler</a> from redirects to retain share counts. This is doable for some developers and WebOps teams, but the Facebook crawler exemption can be difficult to setup, awkward to maintain, and it still doesn’t cover Pinterest and Reddit.</p> <p>With AddToAny <a title="Fix share counts for HTTP and HTTPS" href="https://www.addtoany.com/buttons/customize/share_count_recovery">share count recovery</a>, it’s just one line to combine counts for the HTTP and HTTPS versions of shared URLs.</p> <p>HTTP recovery applies to Facebook, Pinterest, and Reddit. Some services — such as Tumblr — are ‘protocol neutral’ with shared URLs, meaning they consider http://example.com/ to be the same as https://example.com/. So if you’re only recovering HTTP counts, AddToAny skips the extra lookup for unaffected services such as Tumblr.</p> <h4> <span style="color: #393f49;">New domain</span> <span style="color: #0166ff;">+</span> <span style="color: #616c7d;">Old domain</span> </h4> <p>Whether you’ve switched to a new domain name or a new subdomain, AddToAny has your domain recovery needs covered too.</p> <p>Just place your old domain name in a line of code as demonstrated in the <a title="Share count recovery documentation" href="https://www.addtoany.com/buttons/customize/share_count_recovery">share count recovery docs</a>.</p> <h4> <span style="color: #393f49;">New path</span> <span style="color: #0166ff;">+</span> <span style="color: #616c7d;">Old path</span> <span style="color: #393f49;">(and other URL changes)</span> </h4> <p>For more complex changes, AddToAny lets you script out your own recovery logic within a custom JavaScript function. A helpful data object is passed to your custom recovery function, making it convenient to reconstruct an old URL structure based on parts of the shared URL, such as the domain, protocol, and pathname parts. You can also get values from any HTML data-* attributes you may have provided, such as a post ID, day, month, or year.</p> <h4>Recover share counts with AddToAny</h4> <p>See the <a title="How to
