I would like to eliminate loading of dashicons.css

Steve G

Hi,

I was hoping you might be able to help me with eliminating the need for dashicons.css in the loading of my product pages.

Your plugin obviously requires some icons from this file but as far as I can tell, only two icons are required (please correct me if I am wrong). Regardless, it seems unnecessary to load the entire file.

My goal is to eliminate this unused CSS because is negatively affecting my page load speed.

Would it be possible for you guys to provide the custom CSS required for these two icons so I don’t have to load dashicons.css? I can easily stop this file from loading on my product pages but at present this breaks the styling on my page.

I would greatly appreciate if you could provide this code for me.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

Hello Steve G,

Unfortunately, this is not currently possible because we need dashicons for the gallery slider indicator. If you disable dashicons then the gallery slider indicator can’t be shown. So you are suggesting us to add custom CSS instead of dashicons, we think it will be affected on speed optimization same as with dashicons. I hope you can now understand.

Is there anything else that I can help you with?

Thanks

Hi Tanvirul,
I’m not sure who you consulted about this, but you are incorrect.

The entire dashicons.css file is being loaded (above the fold) and 99% of it is unused. This a huge waste of time and resources and it does indeed slow down my product pages.

All I am asking is for someone provide me with the tiny bit of CSS code I need to produce the one or two icons required for your plugin. I don’t think it’s too much to ask as a paying customer.

And if you don’t want to provide it for free, I am happy to pay for this CSS code. Just let me know how much you want and what payment method you prefer, and we can get this sorted out asap.

Thanks,

Hi Steve,

Could you share with me an exact product page URL and a temporary admin access to your site so that I can run the investigation on that?

Hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks

Hi again Tanvirul,

Again, I am a bit confused by your response.

Why would you need to log into my website or look at my product pages? No investigation is needed for this request.

I am simply asking for the CSS code to produce the icon(s) that your plugin requires, so I don’t have to load dashicons.css.

If you are unable to provide this for me, can you please refer me to one of your software engineers so I can get this code?

Thanks,

Hi Steve,

We need to check if your site has any other fonts included like FontAwesome etc. so that we can use that instead of dashicon.  Do you have any site link to check?

Could you add me here on Skype? My Skype ID is: shovon.haque2

Please add me and say hi with the ticket ID. I am waiting for you there to quickly squash your issue.

Thank

Hi Tanvirul,

 

I am using only 2 fonts on my site and I’m loading them locally via @font-face.

In other words, I am not getting fonts from FontAwesome, Google Fonts or anywhere else.

So I ask again….. Can you to please provide me with the CSS code to produce the icon(s) that your plugin requires? If you can’t provide this for free, I would be happy to pay for it.

Thanks,
