Hook Element doesn't remove Preload Key Requests warning

Hi GP,
I use Tom's older plug-in (Lightweight Social Icons) on my website. It uses the Fontello font which PageSpeed Insights is flagging me to preload it.
So I created this hook element in wp_head:
<link rel="preload" href="https://www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/plugins/lightweight-social-icons/fonts/fontello.woff" as="font" type="font/woff" crossorigin>
And under "Display Rules", selected "Entire Site" for Location.
The error is still showing in PSI though. Help please.
Thanks,
John
Hi there,
can you share a link to your site so we can see whats happening.
Hi David,
The site link is included in my original post.
Thanks,
John
Sorry - must get my eyes tested :)
The URL in the <link> is wrong:
https://www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/plugins/lightweight-social-icons/fonts/fontello.woff
You need to change the top level URL https://www.yourdomain.com/ for your site url.
Opps, I put the default URL when I added the 'crossorigin' at the end. I changed it back, but it's still showing up as not preloaded...
My eyes get tested all the time too apparently :)
Can you look again and see what I'm doing wrong?
In your preload did you leave the www. ? as thats not required.
David - you're the man! Removing the www portion fixed it. THANK YOU!
Glad to be of help!
