Speed Contact Bar

Let your website visitors get in touch with you easily with permanent visible contact information.

The plugin is available in English, Spanish (Español), Russian (ру́сский), German (Deutsch) and Polish (Polski). You can add further translations with WPML.

The plugin does not collect any personal data, so it is ready for EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance.

Quick contact to you

Speed Contact Bar enables your visitors to get in contact with you quickly. The plugin shows a colored bar with your contact data and social media URLs on the top of every page of your website.

The bar design is responsive and thus ready for smartphones and tablets. The social media icons are included already.

Each icon appears if you set its target URL in the option page. The phone icons and numbers are clickable to trigger a phone call. The e-mail is clickable to open a mail client.
