Reduce FontAwesome icon font file size

[Faust]

That is up to you. If you use a style with the default icons it is pretty straightforward and worth the effort imo.

Im using TH style. So not sure if this will speed up my site .

i remember reading that TH has removed fontawesome completely in their recent updates. assuming that is correct, it probably wouldn't matter much!

You right, they are using material icons now.

I wonder what happens if other add-ons rely on font awesome icons and assume that they would be available on xenforo out of the box

To my knowledge most TH styles use different fonts (eg not Fontawesome).

Best way is to test it on a (local) dev copy of your website.

With TH styles, font awesome are not supported either with other addon, so I had to add them manually

I would wait for @duderuud to post updated guideline for XF2.2 Meanwhile I hope that amp addon would help as Google seems to be treating amp pages as part of the website in their web vitals graph in search console.

I am testing it on my beta server. Running into one issue though, waiting for @arn to get back to me.

I am currently running a custom Pixelexit theme with some add-on that use custom icons so I need to export a list with all icons used and the command that does that gives me errors.

To be continued...

arn switched to material icons with a theme change on 2.2 as well, so not sure he's supporting this anymore.

I'm running the full icon pak again. had too many holes from mods/etc in my cp and got annoyed with trying to maintain it.
