Why wpForo using two Font Awesome files and those files are big (74 kb and 13.3 kb)?

I think this is will adding file request and reducing load speed. Unfortunately when disable it via forums -> settings -> features, the site will look ugly without icons.

Any idea to speed up this?

Hi

wpForo loads only one FA file, I think the second FA comes from other plugins or from the active WordPress theme. Here is the wpForo FA:

<link rel='stylesheet' id='wpforo-font-awesome-css' href=' https://wpforo.com/wp-content/plugins/wpforo/wpf-assets/css/font-awesome/css/fontawesome-all.min.css?ver=5.11.2 ' type='text/css' media='all' />

@martin But no...I test this website ( https://wpforo.com/community/) using gtmetrix, wpForo load three fonts. You can see this screenshot:

This fonts could make website load slowly.

@adisaputro,

These are binary font files, they can be even 5, they are not the same,  each one is designed for different kind of icons,  the file  names say all.

@adisaputro,

I'm sorry but it's not possible,  they are not text files. They are binary files.
