 * hi David – thanks for updating SSBA
 * couple suggestions for the future…
 * it might be easiest to make all button images, regardless of the style selected,
   the same size – for instance, the ‘simple’ buttons are 64×64 while others are
   smaller – if you do this, then you can allow the user to set 64 as the button
   size instead of capping it at 50 (which is actually 2 px larger than some image
   sets – probably not a good idea to scale up)
 * for folks like me that pay attention to Page Speed/YSlow (gtmetrix.com), there
   are some improvements that could be made: a) add image height/width attributes,
   b) combine the images into a single image and use CSS to display them (sprites)–
   this results in 1 browser request instead of a request for every image
 * these things really affect the GTMetrix score
 * when the google font is not being used, de-queue the stylesheet (if not doing
   so already, but it looks like its being queued all the time)
 * thanks!

 * one more…
    consider adding a post custom field to disable the buttons instead
   of having to use (and remember) the shortcode

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks for the suggestions.
 * The Plus version uses CSS sprites already, soon to be further improved by the
   use of a custom SSB font – [https://simplesharebuttons.com/plus/](https://simplesharebuttons.com/plus/)
 * You can not include the fonts by selecting ‘Inherit from my website’.
 * Disabling buttons on custom post types is also a feature available with Simple
   Share Buttons Plus.
 * Thanks,
 * David
