I put it in the Theme footer.tpl File, and made it cookiefree:
regular URL:

Code: Select all

http://www.velomech.ch

Code: Select all

</footer>
<link href="http://velomech.ch/shop/catalog/view/javascript/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet" prefetch prerender" />
</body>
</html>

Just check the Page Source of the Site, mentioned above, and switch to 'WRAP' Content Mode,
to see it all on the Page, then, you'll find out, where I placed all the linkings to the Styles and Scripts.

Well, I really don't want to make you feel bad, but with 2581 Lines of Code, to present
your Main Page, and 900+ Liner Cat- and Product- Page Source, and some of the Website
Testers even refused to work. Compared with 1-Liner Source Main + Cat Page Layouts,
and ~100 Liner Product Pages, like shown here, http://www.jacob.ch/shop/,
there is no Short-Cut Solution, except of, advising you, to overthink your Theme concept.

Yeah, it's a big shop and we do well compared to others in our category.
I am happy with my Google Page Insights score which is generally 90 desktop and 60 mobile.

Getting a 100 is not realistic for any busy eCommerce store. It's really about user experience in real life. If your site runs slow in real life, with real life testing, then sure, fix it.

Take bigger retailers and put their sites into GT Metrix, you get similiar (if not worse) scores. To focus on the those numbers is not reality.


Anyway, I was just trying to solve this one thing with Font Awesome but your solution didn't work. I do however, again, appreciate the input.
I'll keep searching for solutions to the font awesome thing but won't lose any sleep. I guess it's quarantine boredom that has me taking a look at these non-crucial things.
