Hi: I’ve been rolling along great ( 💯) gtmetrix…. and then yesterday:

The following resources have identical contents, but are served from different URLs. Serve these resources from a consistent URL to save 8 request(s) and 704B.

Any idea what’s happening??

Hi there,

It seems those are files from a couple different sources.

https://cdn.thesoundadvocate.com/wp-content/plugins/lightweight-social-icons/fonts/fontello.ttf
https://cdn.thesoundadvocate.com/wp-content/plugins/lightweight-social-icons/fonts/fontello.woff

Those two are coming from Lightweight Social Icons. The .ttf file is for older browsers which don’t support .woff. It should only load for those older browsers.

https://cdn.thesoundadvocate.com/wp-content/themes/generatepress/fonts/generatepress.ttf
https://cdn.thesoundadvocate.com/wp-content/themes/generatepress/fonts/generatepress.woff
https://cdn.thesoundadvocate.com/wp-content/themes/generatepress/fonts/generatepress.woff2

That’s the same idea. .ttf for older browsers, .woff for modern and .woff2 for super modern. Not all of them should actually be loading.

The rest look like other necessary files, like your favicon and other necessary javascript.

Hi Tom:
Did some analyzing and found out the above problems ( mostly)
1. I had 2 links in about 4 posts that went to same page, and removed them.
I did disable light weight icons temporarily as I had ( secondary menu social icons on top and yours ( older font awesome icons on footer).

I’m going to reinstall and see what happens and or update the icons for your plugin to fontaawsome 5 and see what happens??
As of now ( with lightweight social icons deactivated) everything perfect on gtmetrix!

It’s hit and miss!👍
Thanks
Howard

No problem! Hope you get it all sorted 🙂
