Add Social Share Buttons on GoDaddy website builder to Let Visitors Pages on Social Media

Here’s an effective, secure, and straightforward method to allow visitors to share your GoDaddy website pages without the need for custom code or third-party tools. This approach simplifies the process while enhancing user privacy and improving website performance.

Unfortunately, external tools like AddToAny, ShareThis, and Shareaholic do not work with GoDaddy website builder sites. Additionally, GoDaddy does not provide built-in functionality for adding social media share buttons.

Why Use This Method?

Third-party share button tools, like AddToAny and ShareThis, often collect user data and can slow down your website due to additional JavaScript loading. By using this simple but effective page sharing capability on your GoDaddy website builder site through formatted URLs, you can avoid these issues entirely. This method keeps your site fast and secure, ensuring that no data is being tracked or sold to marketers.
