Dashicons / Page Speed

Hi,

I’m currently working through issues that impact page speed. I’ve also just moved to my own Genesis child theme. It is based on the Genesis Sample theme.

Dashicons were having a significant impact on pagespeed. I found a solution which was to dequeue the file in functions.php for people not logged in. This appeared to work great speed wise, but then I noticed a problem with the Mobile responsive menu.

The mobile menu uses 3 dashicons. The hamburger plus and arrow up and down.

I’m totally lost on how to change this. My preference would be to add 3 icons locally and use them instead. Then I could leave Dashicons off.

Has anyone else dealt with similar issues? If so, what did you do?

(Specifically it is the dashicons.min.css that is slowing things down).

Thanks!

Tony
