Multiple instances of FontAwesome being loaded

[demonboy]

Hi,

I notice that my webpages are downloaded multiple instances of the same font.

Seems as if that second instance of fa-regular-400 is taking a lot longer to load from my website than the one from FontAwesome.

Which one should I choose and where should I remove the second instance?

Hi @demonboy,

The Cornerstone only requests one fa-solid-900.woff2, the rest is coming from external source https://use.fontawesome.com, one or multiple of your plugins might be requesting that one of those seems called Printful Shipping.

Please do a plugin conflict test to know which of your plugin is requesting the other FontAwesome file.

Thanks,

Thanks, @friech. Can I ask you how you worked out that it was Printful Shipping? I’d like to know how you found this out so I can do this for myself in the future to save hassling you.

Sure thing, I saw on your screenshot that the other FontAwesome files are coming from use.fontawesome.com, then I view-source your page and find use.fontawesome.com, and found this (https://i.imgur.com/HxbxzbC.png).

Simple, not to mention obious! Thank you, @friech

I guess my other question is - what if I turn off the font awesome instances within X and use the Printful call instead? Will Cornerstone be able to render the fonts using this alternative source instead?

Hi @demonboy,

That is probably possible, but don’t do that, it going to break a lot of elements on the theme. It will do more bad than good.

Thanks,

OK! I’ll have a chat with the Printful developers. Thanks for your help, @friech.
