    Google PageSpeed Insights suggests I preload a font from a lightweight social icons plugin.

    Following guidance found on this forum I created a Hook element in wp_head across the entire site with the code:

    <link rel=”preload” href=”/wp-content/plugins/lightweight-social-icons/fonts/fontello.woff″ as=”font” type=”font/woff2″ crossorigin>

    For some reason it doesn’t seem to do anything – PageSpeed keeps providing the same advice about preload even with this script, suggesting the script isn’t working.

    Any ideas if I have done something wrong?

    Thanks

    Hi there,

    can you share a link so i can take a look?

    Of course, sorry, should have done that initially. It’s https://tarsolutions.co.uk

    Please advise if you need access to the back end.

    Try updating the URL in your pre-load link to include the full address ie.

    https://tarsolutions.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/lightweight-social-icons/fonts/fontello.woff

    For some reason it doesn’t seem to work. The tag does appear in the head section of the site but for whatever reason doesn’t seem to do very much.

    I am not seeing the full URL in the link tag ?

    I’ve got it. Something stupid actually so apologies for the time waste. I copied the initial code and altered the URL. But the copy paste produced dodgy quotation marks. Now fixed. Thanks for your time and assistance.

    Yeah curly quotes are a pain … glad to hear you got it resolved (?)

    Yes, all sorted. Thanks for your time, you certainly helped push me in the right direction.
