Turns out the “Share This” plugin is total bloatware. Deactivate the plugin and you’ll likely bump up a grade. Not convinced, check out the Share This reviews and decide for yourself.

For an alternative to the Share This plugin, try the “Add To Any” plugin instead. They have 300,000+ downloads with 4.7 out of 5 stars.

Hopefully this will help you out if you’re getting the lovely “Remove the following redirect chain if possible:” on Pingdom.
