Posted May 4, 20159 yr Does the include for Font Awesome in IPB 4.x pull from a local resource or from their CDN?

May 4, 20159 yr Does the include for Font Awesome in IPB 4.x pull from a local resource or from their CDN?.If I check the CSS then it looks like it is from local ..applications/core/interface/font/fontawesome-webfont .
May 5, 20159 yr Author Should be from CDN!yes then as new stuff gets added to the set we will automatically have them included. However, maybe IPB will include font awesome updates as part of their upgrade distributions.
May 5, 20159 yr Author After thinking a bit, Shouldn't this load from a CDN every time? Larger sites will really benefit from this.
May 5, 20159 yr Community Expert After thinking a bit, Shouldn't this load from a CDN every time? Larger sites will really benefit from this.Sure, but admins of larger sites choose their own CDN and set this up themselves. I actually don’t like that stock software makes all sorts of calls to all sorts of external sites if it’s not absolutely necessary.

May 5, 20159 yr But if it comes from the Font Awesome CDN it may be already cached when the user visited another website.
