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?

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.

In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.

@robert can you team combined this fonts into one pack? or reducing the size?

@adisaputro,

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