It appears that wpdiscuz is loading 3 fontawesome libraries are being loaded, and you only use a few icons. This is really causing our LCP score to plummet with Google. Is there a way to use SVG for the icons you need? If not, is there any other way we can reduce the load here?

@rnschmidt,

wpDiscuz loads minified version of the FontAwesome. That is, only the icons that are used in the wpDiscuz are loaded.

Anyway, you can disable the "Load Font Awesome css lib" option in the wpDiscuz settings.

Then enqueue your qustom CSS fonts.

In case you want to say thank you! 🙂
We'd really appreciate if you leave a good review on the plugin page.

Can you tell me which specific icons we need from fontawesome so we can load them locally?

@rnschmidt,

We don't have the list of the icons. You should check and choose the icons you want.
