How plugin works

You create stacks in admin panel and copy generated shortcodes. Then you put these shortcodes in any block on any page/post of your site. Plugin has special widget ready mode for narrow blocks like sidebar. When social stack is shown first time, it’s got cached (takes more time for initial caching but then it will show blazingly fast) and rest of visitors see this cache for cache lifetime. So for example if you have set 20 min cache and 10000 users visit your site within these 20 min, it’s only one time plugin will request API to pull data, for the rest of time users will see cached data almost instantly. Considering that server runs cache renew task in background it guarantees plugin’s amazing performance.

How multiple feeds work

First of all, you can setup unlimited social stacks on any page or post. The magic thing is you then add as much social feeds from one or different social networks as you want. For example, include in one social stack 3 Twitter accounts, 1 Twitter #hashtag, 4 Google+ accounts and 3 Facebook feeds. No problem! Here is a visual scheme:
