    Greetings,

    I’ve been using this plugin for quite a while with no issues at all. However, I started to look into the optimization of my website more deeply, and I see that a lot of resources are needed to load the css for Font Awesome.
    As it stands, only 3 icons are used on my frontend (magnifying glass, up arrow, down arrow). I know I can select to not load Font Awesome through the plugin, but obviously these three icons disappear if I don’t.
    My question is, can I compile a smaller css file with only these 3 icons icons through something like Fontello? How would I do that? Would I just use the css from the whole webfont that I donwload through Fontello? Where would I put it and how would I name it so that this plugin understands it?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello,

    We do not have any information about Fontello and how it work.
    You can try to disable Font Awesome in plugin settings and use CSS file from Fontello, implement it in your child theme.

    Hey, thanks for the reply!

    I am not asking about Fontello in particular.

    In general, if I wanted to use my own css for Font Awesome, where would I put it? How would I name it?

    Hello,

    Plugin do not have some additional functionality to work with custom font files.
    It must be loaded with your theme or some other plugin.
