I have put a facebook like, facebook send, and twitter tweet button 10 times on my web page (1 for each article in my thread), but yet the page loads very slowly. Right now the site is just running on my local XAMPP stack but when I comment out those widgets, the page loads instantaneously. Otherwise it takes like 10 seconds to load.

It would be helpful to see the code to make sure you are applying it correctly, but I’ve experienced similar symptoms before. The way I would render it is by having the associated external Javascript files just before your
</body>tag and not in your head. If the connection to the external host is slow, it can cause parallisation issues so you want to load it last.
