    Hi,

    I followed this post to replace the search submit button with an icon that comes from generatepress font-family.
    When I run GTmetrix, I can see in the waterfall that generatepress.woff2 is loaded and extending load time.
    I want to replace the icon with a png file so the woff2 file doesn’t need to be loaded.

    Is this a good approach? If yes, how can I replace the icon for a png from my media library?

    Hi there,

    generatepress.woff2 needs to load (it’s inside style.css), so there’s no reason not to use it.

    It’s a tiny file (1.23kb), so it shouldn’t be extending your load time by any considerable amount.

    We might look into replacing all theme icons with SVGs in the near future.
