Building off of this question asked in 2020, I’m looking at the waterfall to determine what’s slowing a production site’s initial load times down and it’s overwhelmingly 3 FontAwesome fonts.
In terms of initial loading on every page, they’re not small packs (~200k vs ~20-40k for a font) and they’re taking ~500ms to load (vs 100ms for actual site-used fonts). I’d prefer they be optional (disable functionality without them) instead of required, as you indicated in that question, but can you at least add an option to load them via CDN instead of hardcoding them locally?
Increasing load times by ~1.5s per load for fonts (like the 550ms I’m wasting on fa-brands) when I’m not using them on the site is a bug not a feature.
