It seems Font Awesome request is queued in a way that it is render blocking.

Can you change this, considering that in 99.9% of use cases, the rest of the page should be able to display before Font Awesome is loaded and displayed without degrading user experience…

I tried viewing the web page you linked. It didn’t load. Can you show screenshot evidence of render blocking behavior?

As I mentioned on your support topic over here, the default way this plugin works is to load a Kit via the <script> embed code. The plugin adds the defer attribute to that <script>. So I would not expect any render blocking. Furthermore, that script loads assets asynchronously.

Google is seeing lots of back and forth with the FontAwesome CDN: https://i.postimg.cc/QMnnZdyN/Page-Speed-Insights-02-14-2026-01-41-PM.png
