Removed dashicon.css when only used pure label

Hey,

Have you try to change the settings of this plugin?

Hi,

I’d unchecked both and it still appeared “removed unused css”.
…css/dashicons.min.css?ver=5.7.2

I’d disabled the cache plugin and clear the browser cache.

Ok, now its unclear what do you mean by: “removed unused css” are you using a plugin to stop it or code?

and have you also removed the text inside “Icon Class” ?

I’d disabled the cache plugin and clear the browser cache.

Try different browser too, just to make sure.

Also please check if there is any errors on the pages where you try to hide the icons…

One extra thing you can do is install “Query Monitor” plugin to see if there is anything abnormal…

as a last resort you can also hide the icons with css code.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.
I’d use Google Pagespeed to test my website. The result shows that removed unused CSS, and it’s from the Post Views Counter plugin.

I uncheck both checkboxes. It is still working, and no error on the console tool.
However, every time my home page load, it will load dashicons.min.css.
I’d tried multiple browsers incognito windows, such as chrome, edge, safari.

Is there any way to disable the dashicons CSS while I don’t use the icon?

Well regarding page speed there are tons of recommendations available, but depending on many different things like for example the amount of plugins installed and the quality of the code, etc.. etc..

My recommendations & checklist is very long, but to be more specific to what you asked and not to complicate things too much, maybe start with:
1) It’s free and simple to use. “WordPress Assets manager, dequeue scripts, dequeue styles”
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/gonzales/

2) Personally I use this: “Perfmatters” the pro edition.
https://perfmatters.io/features/

Cost: $24.95 per year

3) Not tested yet, but shows a lot of promise: “Flying Scripts by WP Speed Matters”
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/flying-scripts/

Extra things to look into:

4) And for Cache if you have LiteSpeed server: “LiteSpeed Cache”

5) For images – “WebP Express”
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/webp-express/

6) “Stop Generating Unnecessary Thumbnails” To stop ALL extra image sizes, because I upload images that are already super optimized, any further changes will make it much bigger and I seen it happen many times.

More?

BTW

If possible please let us all know if you chose to use any of this recommendations?

And before installing and using them can you maybe take screenshots of the page speed results? from:

https://www.webpagetest.org/

and
https://web.dev/measure/
https://redbot.org/

Then after setting up the new plugins let’s take new screenshots?

Never waste a good evidential speed optimization, then you know for sure what worked, maybe can use next time similar set. etc..

Also important to get rid of as many Bot’s as possible! that will free your server to provide the website to actual users.

For that too there are many options but I use:

1) “Blackhole Pro”
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/blackhole-bad-bots/

2) “BBQ Firewall Pro”
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/block-bad-queries/

Again depending on many things but this are simple to use and good at what they do.

Last two recommendations: after all is done and you are happy,

1) Check and fix if you can, if not there are plugins to help you with that for simplicity or code that can be added for a bit more advanced user.

2) Install and use CDN, maybe test the free Cloudflare
