Why Should You Disable Icons in WordPress?

Icon Loading Only When Needed

Elementor and WordPress include icon libraries to support many design options. This feature lets you load only the icon libraries your site actually uses, keeping front-end assets focused and efficient.

Better PageSpeed Scores with Fewer Assets
