title: Alternatives to Twitter @Anywhere API?
body: <p>I'm attempting to put a tweet box on my website by simply using the @anywhere API by <a href="https://dev.twitter.com/docs/anywhere/tweet-box" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Twitter</a>. While this works fine and is simple to set up, it has the following problems with it:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Take over 3 seconds to load ( <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19907/what-do-most-users-consider-acceptable-load-times-on-a-website">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19907/what-do-most-users-consider-acceptable-load-times-on-a-website</a> )</li>
  <li>Makes 14 requests</li>
  <li>Calls jQuery twice</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Are there any other alternatives to using <code>@anywhere</code>?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: Here's my code..</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div id="twitter_widget"&gt;
          &lt;script src="http://platform.twitter.com/anywhere.js?id=**MYAPPID**&amp;v=1"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
          &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
          twttr.anywhere(function (T) {
              T("#twitter_widget").tweetBox({
              label: "&lt;span style='display:block !important;margin-bottom:5px !important;font-family:Helvetica Neue !important; color: #CCC !important; font-size: 18px !important; font-weight: 500 !important;'&gt;Tweet&lt;/span&gt;",
              height: 100,
              width: 300,
              defaultContent: ""
              });
          });
          &lt;/script&gt;
          &lt;button class="check-twitter" onclick="window.open('http://www.twitter.com','_blank');"&gt;Go to Twitter&lt;/button&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
