Easy Social Share Buttons (often abbreviated ESSB) is the kitchen-sink share-button plugin, with per-network counts cached as essb_* postmeta keys plus an internal share-click log fed by front-end button presses. The bundled stats screen shows totals and a top-shared list. The data is much richer than that surface uses, and editorial leads typically want cross-cutting answers the bundled view does not produce.

SleekView Charts reads both datasets. From the essb_* postmeta it derives per-network columns and a Total per post; from the share-click log it derives event-level rows with service, post and timestamp. The two feed a configurable dashboard: KPI of total clicks, pie of service mix, bar of top posts by total shares, area trend of weekly clicks. Filter by service, author or post type to scope every card to the cohort that matters for a specific report.

Because the dashboard reads what the plugin already records and caches, no front-end tracking changes and no second analytics tool is introduced. The bundled stats screen keeps working for its quick-look use case; the SleekView dashboard handles the slicing and the read-only sharing the bundled view does not expose.

Easy Social Share Buttons earns its name with a feature surface that covers almost every share-button scenario a publisher meets. The data it collects mirrors that breadth: per-network counts cached on every post plus a share-click log capturing front-end engagement service by service. The bundled stats screen consolidates this into a small set of totals and a top-shared list, which is the right summary for a quick look and an incomplete surface for the cross-cutting questions editorial teams actually ask.

SleekView Charts renders the same datasets as configurable cards: KPI, service pie, top-posts bar, weekly trend. Filters scope the whole dashboard to a service, an author or a date range, which is the difference between scrolling a stats tab and running an editorial program against the real signal the plugin already collects.
