    I would like to stop loading su-icons, aka Fork Awesome. I am already loading the CSS version of the newest version of Font Awesome on both the admin and Front end of the site. I am also loading the shim. All fa classes are available, so the icons in this plugin should continue to work without it. Loading of this extra files is a duplicate resource that is effecting page load. Is there any filter or action that I can perform to prevent it from loading?

    Looking at the files this would be impossible without creating a shim. It isn’t the extra CSS that’s the issue, but the CSS causes the font files to be loaded and this is a significant amount of unnecessary resources.

    Perhaps you would think about creating a shim similar to the one that FA has available for old fa- icon classes.

    Sorry, I missed that topic and your reply. I look forward to being able to alter the icon font used by SU. Thanks.

    I am being pounded right now with trying to fix performance issues on client sites and I either need to find ways to reduce duplicate resource loading or I need to find replacements for plugins that load duplicate resources.

    I understand your dilemma with FA. If I can find the time maybe I’ll look into creating that css shim myself.

    In case you plan to create a pull request at GitHub, please don’t waste your time. I’m going to do that with PHP only, without CSS.
