 * [@antoniodee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antoniodee/) I’ve checked your
   website and no Dashicons or JetPack CSS files are loading. I believe it was a
   caching issue when you made the test. Can you re-check appending a query string
   such as _/?nocache_ so that whatever tool you’re using will not access a cached
   page (often when query strings are used, the cache is not triggering, at least
   that’s what happens with performance plugins such as WP Rocket, it depends on
   the caching service, just use a unique query string that you know it’s never 
   been used so it wasn’t cached in the first place).
 * Also, you’re loading FontAwesome (same version: 4.7.0) twice. If you load the
   website with _/?wpacu\_unload\_css=smr-fontawesome_ (which will unload one of
   the CSS files on-page request) appended to the homepage’s URL, you will notice
   the icons are still loading. You can also test using _/?wpacu\_unload\_js=kirki-
   fontawesome-font_ which is the second file (JavaScript one) that loads it to 
   check how the icons load.
 * I’ll definitely choose to unload one of these two assets.

 * Hey i removed that kirki-fontawesome, but now the instagram icon became a bit
   ugly.
    Can you confirm me that now i load that asset only one time?

 * [@antoniodee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antoniodee/) Yes, the Instagram
   icon is different. You can either load a custom icon there (e.g. an SVG) or see
   if there are different versions of Instagram from FontAwesome that you can load.
   Anyway, it was just a suggestion as I feel it’s worth optimizing it, but if you
   don’t have much traffic and you believe the page is fast enough, then it’s OK
   to leave it on, even though it’s just for an icon.
 * PS: FontAwesome is loaded only one time now, yes! The JS file that I mentioned
   earlier is not loading anymore.
