# How to Disable Loading for Elementor Icons?

## Key Takeaways

- Nexter Extension allows users to disable different types of icons in Elementor.
- Users can access the Disable Icons section by navigating to Nexter > Extensions > Performance in the WordPress Dashboard.
- The Disable Icons popup displays all icon types loaded by Elementor, enabling users to individually disable them.

Elementor comes with a variety of icons that can be added to your site for a better user experience. However, you may not use all types of icons on your website. So disabling the extra types of icons can improve the Elementor page builder's performance.

But there is no option within Elementor to disable specific types of icons for that, you have to use third party plugins or custom coding. If you are using the [Nexter Extension (Free) plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/nexter-extension/), you can easily disable different types of icons in your Elementor page builder.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What should I do if the Nexter Extension doesn't disable Elementor icons?**
A: If the Nexter Extension isn't disabling Elementor icons as expected, ensure that you have enabled the toggle in the Disable Icons section. Sometimes, browser caching can prevent changes from appearing immediately, so try clearing your browser cache or refreshing the page. If issues persist, check for plugin conflicts that might interfere with the Nexter Extension's functionality.

**Q: Does the Nexter Extension work with other page builders besides Elementor?**
A: The Nexter Extension is designed specifically for use with Elementor and does not support other page builders. It enhances Elementor's performance by allowing users to disable specific icon types, making it a valuable tool for those who primarily use Elementor for their WordPress sites.

**Q: What happens to the icon library after I disable certain icons?**
A: Once you disable specific icon types using the Nexter Extension, those icons will no longer appear in the Elementor icon library. This means you won't accidentally use them in your designs, helping to streamline your workflow and maintain a cleaner interface within Elementor.
