reducing the number of fontawesome requests

[SerGun78]

hi all. My life hack on how to reduce the load on the site and increase loading speed. In contactinfo.php, change all icons to solid. There are two solid (phone +mobile) and two regular (envelope and clock). So I changed the icons for mail and work time from regular to solid, now one regular icon font does not load, i.e. the number of requests decreased by one. At the same time, we must not forget that there is no longer a need to add icons from regular to the site, so that the regular font will not be loaded again.

Use FontAwesome JS load in FontAwesome options instead CSS load. Disable FontAwesome CSS, Include FontAwesome JS and SVG folders. This will load only each needed SVG instead entire TTF, OTF or other fonts files.

@sonvnn check this as an option for the template options ;)

@uzielweb — Not sure where to find these options?

In plugin there is not CSS or JS option. there is CDN or Local

Does not exist this option. You can add it as a script to the header and upload all SVG and JS files needed. My suggestion is to create this as an extra option @sonvnn

Thank you! I will check it in the next versions.

I tested the loading option via js fontawesome. According to my observations, this does not lead to a decrease in requests and the weight of the site, but rather increases the load. maybe I'm wrong. If someone checked the proposed option, please provide your changes at site speed.
