    I noticed the high bandwidth for my sites using Nextgen Gallery was related to loading a fontawesome javascript file that was 1.5M. I found the option to not load it, but I was wondering what function that javascript does? It can’t be worth 1.5M and I don’t see any difference in the sites with it disabled.

    What ever it does, there’s got to be a better way to do it rather than load a 1.5M file.

  • Hi @aestheticdesign,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    Basically, the FontAwesome JavaScript file typically loads the icons on your site, such as social media icons, buttons and any other elements that use FontAwesome. However, if you’re not using those icons or don’t notice any visual differences after disabling it, it might cause any effect on your site.

    Let me know if you get any issues after disabling the file and I will help you further.

    Thanks
