    Hi,

    First I would say I like this plugin and I thank the developers for all the work done.

    I face a slowing down or more precisely a loading delay (10 sec) of my timeline express page. Regarding to chrome inspector it seems to be due to “font awesome” loading ?

    Any other people face it that ? Any clue to fix it ?

    Thanks a lot in advance,

    Hi Julien,

    The font-awesome icons are loaded from the netdna CDN (//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/version/css/font-awesome.min.css).

    It’s possible the CDN is facing slow load times right now.

    What you can do to help improve the speed is to load font-awesome locally from the plugin source files instead of from the CDN.

    You’ll want to add the following to your themes functions.php file to tell Timeline Express to load font-awesome from the plugin source files instead of from the CDN.

    define( 'TIMELINE_EXPRESS_FONT_AWESOME_LOCAL', true );

    Let us know if that works any better for you after adding that line to your theme’s functions.php file.
