    Basically I want to get rid of the font awesome fonts.

    I added these codes to my child’s function theme to not use them:

    add_action('elementor/frontend/after_register_styles',function() {
    	foreach( [ 'solid', 'regular', 'brands' ] as $style ) {
    		wp_deregister_style( 'elementor-icons-fa-' . $style );
    	}
    }, 20 );
    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'disable_eicons', 11 );
    function disable_eicons() {
    	wp_dequeue_style( 'elementor-icons' );
    	wp_deregister_style( 'elementor-icons' );
    }

    However, they still appear in the gt metrix report and take the same amount to load.

    Please help

    Hi

    Before any recommendation is offered, I’d like to highlight that Elementor is already optimized for speed. However, from a technical standpoint, there will inevitably be a small impact on performance. This happens with any page builder that you use. There are quite a number of steps to optimize your website for speed, but there aren’t as many to optimize it for loading and how the content is served initially by the server and the website until it is fully loaded. Since this has been a bit of a widely asked question, and the answer cannot be exact due to too many aspects affecting it (Elementor is just one plugin on an entire WordPress platform), our team has come up with a checklist of sorts with some good steps to take to ensure your website performs as best as possible. You may have a run through it and see if it helps.

    From the technical agent perspective, I would be more than happy to help, but unfortunately, since Elementor is a site builder, we do not yet have the tools to do so. Elementor is not a plugin that serves content, the server, the optimization plugins/modules, and the website do that, and we cannot affect how that is done from our side. Also, the website loading speed and optimization terms are extremely wide, and we cannot give exact advices or endpoints on how this should be improved as it all depends on too many aspects. I would really recommend getting in touch with a site optimization plugin (I understand that it might be frustrating) to see if there are ways to improve the website loading speed by adjusting some settings.

    However, website speed and optimization is out of Elementor’s technical support scope and we do not provide assistance with these matters as they are extremely broad and take multiple things into account. The best I could have done are the articles which I have already sent you.
    ?

    If you would like assistance with this, I strongly advise connecting with an SEO expert for expert analysis of the website, it’s resources and how can they utilise them in the best possible way.
