Overview

Social Pulse … is a WP plugin showing follower counts from YouTube, Facebook, X, and Steam. It uses Leader/Follower modes to reduce API requests.

General Idea

Social Pulse retrieves follower numbers from multiple platforms and displays them via WordPress shortcodes. In Leader mode, the plugin directly makes API requests to obtain the latest values, which are then cached and exposed at a dedicated URL. In Follower mode, the plugin skips direct API calls and instead retrieves the pre-fetched data from the Leader instance.
