Heavy File Size of Font Awesome Webfont

    Recently, I started using Easy Accordion for the FAQ section on my website. While working with the plugin, I noticed that the font that loads with it has an enormous size of 73KB, even after compression. I usually block fonts that come pre-installed with plugins, but in this case, if I block this font from loading, the expand and collapse icons also disappear. Therefore, it becomes necessary to keep this font loaded. However, it feels awkward to retain a 73KB traffic load just for the expand and collapse icons.

    The font in question is located at: /wp-content/plugins/easy-accordion-free/public/assets/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff2.

    I would appreciate it if you could de-link expand and collapse icons, so users who do not wish to use these fonts can keep icons loaded

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi @joyloan,

    Thanks for pointing out the issue. Yes, we are agree with you that there is a scope to reduce the file size and improve the performance.

    We have taken all the necessary steps to optimize the plugins and its file sizes. We will try to host the icons locally to avoid the use of a font family, or we will keep the necessary icons only. Our development team will investigate the best possible solution and implement it in the future version of the plugin.

    Your understanding and cooperation would be highly appreciated.

    Have a great day!
