My first thread start here.
We added the AddThis Bookmark and Social Networking Link Tool.
Sometimes it loads just fine and sometimes it takes forever to load, slowing the load of the page.
Any advice?
What does everyone else do with this type of tool to get it to work properly? Which tool of this type is best? What to consider when choosing this type of tool?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best Wishes,

the tool is probably making a http request for each of the social networking/bookmarking services and browsers usually have limits for simultaneous connects so you are likely only making 2-4 requests at a time.
if those external requests are only for images you could consider hosting those images on your server.
otherwise you should locate that code at the end of your document such that the page renders enough to be usable while waiting for the "social links" to load.
