Hi, I have a simple landing page and the punctuation was “perfect”, just today I made a modification in my footer (I added 4 icons) from the font awesome library, and the punctuation was lost a lot…
After adding a few icons…
Is there any way to optimize this? I find it very disastrous that the score is damaged so much by just adding a couple of icons.
I agree, to be optimum, the icons should really be SVGs so the whole font library isn’t used.
Note though that 15kb is very small compared to other optimizations like background image sizing which these scores may not pick up on.
Download svgs and put them in place of icon library for now. Font-Awesome/svgs at 6.x · FortAwesome/Font-Awesome (github.com)
I agree that 15kb is nothing, but it’s weird that just by using the awesome font library the score drops so much (clients rely a lot on pagespeed), anyway the solution I did was to upload my own svg and it fixed the problem, thanks
