Simple Line Icons Load Time Issue

  • I am using google page insights and I am getting a 3.84 second load time for these Icons. I tried disabling through the Theme panel, but then my shop didn’t look right. The File that is causing it is Simple-Line-Icons.woff2 and it is in my /wp-content/themes/oceanwp/assets/fonts/simple-line-icons

    I am looking at pre-loading it, but when I opened the file it was not readable, and I was recently hacked, so is this a normal file? Guidance on what this file is, why it is taking almost 4 seconds to load, and best way to fix that load time would be appreciated.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Any advice on how to disable the simple line icons completely without ocean extra with a snippet? Or tell us the place where oceanwp queues the font to remove the line?

    Hi @apprimit

    Same I am facing, I have tested my site on different speed test websites all are saying simple-line-icon-time-issue.

    Consider using <link rel=preload> to prioritize fetching resources that are currently requested later in page load. Learn more.

    …imple-Line-Icons.woff2?v=2.4.0
    Potential Savings: 3660.00ms

    After finding more on this issue I found code to be added in your HTML.

    Declare preload links in your HTML to instruct the browser to download key resources as soon as possible.

    <head>
    …
    <link rel=”preload” href=”styles.css” as=”style”>
    <link rel=”preload” href=”ui.js” as=”script”>
    …
    </head>

    But I don’t know how and where to put this code. If anybody helps me it really worth it.

    Thanks

    Hello to all!

    The problem has not been resolved. Support promised to fix the issue when updating the theme. There have already been updates, but the problem persists. What can you say? The problem will be solved?

    No, the problem is not solved. I hope for a quick solution or they will lose a customers.
    Soon Google will change the algorithms and speed will be very important in the rankings.

    I really ask the support team to answer this issue. If you are unable to solve the problem, just say so. I happily tried to solve this problem myself. But I do not have the necessary knowledge. Simply disabling CSS Simple line Icons on the Theme Panel fixes Google PageSpeed ??problems, but the site menu completely loses its style and is displayed incorrectly. It looks ugly – and design is also an important part of the site.
    I do not accuse you of something and I am not trying to be rude – I just ask you very much – help with this problem, since I do not have enough knowledge to solve this problem on my own.
    Moreover, this problem did not appear today – the first message is dated 01/22/2020. And on January 28, Amit Singh replied that this problem will be solved in the next update. There were several updates for half a year – the problem remained. Please fix the problem.

    Right, link color and hover in the text don’t look right either

    Hi,

    Try to add the below code in the functions.php file of your child theme, and check the time for the load Icons.

    function add_preload() {

	echo '<link rel="preload" href="' . get_template_directory_uri() . '/assets/css/third/simple-line-icons.min.css" as="style">';

}
add_action('wp_head', 'add_preload' );

    Unfortunately, nothing has changed. Maybe I’m putting the code in the wrong place. But I tried in different places – at the beginning, at the end. The result is the same.

    Hello! I don’t know whether this is the work of the developers or not, but the problem disappeared. Didn’t do anything with the code. What was written above about functions.php – accordingly I could not do it and therefore everything remained in the code as it was. The only but – I had the WP Super Cache plugin, instead of it (for comparison) I installed the WP-Optimize plugin, I decided to see which plugin would have a better download speed indicator. And the problem on WP-Optimize with “Simple Line Icons Load Time Issue” disappeared. PageSpeed ??no longer asks to optimize Simple Line Icons preloading!!!
    I’m not saying WP Super Cache is causing this problem. There is a problem without plugins. But maybe WP-Optimize solves it on its own!
    Or the developers have fixed this issue. I just don’t want to check – I’m afraid to touch something. If the developers fixed it, thank you so much!
    Maybe someone will want to check and this problem will disappear for him?

    I checked it all the same. Even without WP-Optimize or another caching plugin, the problem with “Simple Line Icons Load Time Issue” is gone !! Thank!!!!
    So the problem was fixed by the developers!
    Site loading speed increased by 15 points (up to stable 83-87) even without caching plugins and CDN.
    The site loading speed increased by 15 points (to a stable 83-87) even without caching plugins and CDNs (of course, I kept the CSS and JC minification and did not disable the minification plugin).

    I can not confirm. The loading time is better (Depending on the time of day) but the prompt with <link rel = preload> for Mobile and Desktop still exists. I continue to use WP Fastest Cache.

    I found!!!!!
    Plugins really have nothing to do with it. Forgiveness, stupidity – I don’t really understand everything.
    In the settings of the mobile menu of the site, change the “Style of the mobile menu” to the drop-down list – the problem will disappear immediately. Before that, I had a style – “Sidebar”, I checked and it is this style that gives a problem with – <link rel = preload>. Once you remove the “Sidebar” style of the mobile menu, the problem with “Simple Line Icons Load Time Issue” disappears! I checked it several times.

    Question to the developers – can you fix the error in the mobile menu style – “Sidebar”, which gives the problem – “Simple Line Icons Load Time Issue”?
    For me personally, the style of the mobile menu is not very important. I am satisfied with the drop-down list. But it may not suit everyone.

    @danlim303303

    You are my hero of the day.     Change the “Style of the mobile menu” to the drop-down list” works!!!
    But only on the Startpage, other Pages had still Sidebar?!

    Ideas of what I did wrong????

    Unfortunately I am not using the sidebar on my site pages. So on all my pages the problem went away.
    I have a simple sidebar with a menu on one page, but this sidebar is done through an additional plugin for Elementor. I don’t understand the code and that’s why I made a website using Elementor and various plugins for it.
