    SOLVED Remove query strings from static resources - Gantry - Fontawesome

    Posted 11 years 1 month ago
    • Website: simplerwebs.com
      Joomla 3.2.2
      Template: Anacron
      Gantry: 4.1.21

      Upon running GTmetrix and Pingdom tools, I get a 0 grade on the 'remove query strings from static resouces'. The recommendation is as follow:

      Resources with a "?" in the URL are not cached by some proxy caching servers. Remove the query string and encode the parameters into the URL for the following resources:

      /libraries/gantry/assets/jui/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=3.2.1

      I only want to use standard fonts like Helvetica and so on which I have setup in the template configuration but still, the fontawesome is still being called and giving me low grade.

      Your assistance would be very much appreciated and I thank you in advance!

    • You are using fontawesome for icons - eg. roksocialbuttons at top right.

    • MrT! I thank you for your quick response. I have dissabled the social media feature from the template and dissabled a module that was using FontAwesome, to test it and cleared all cache but I am still getting the exact same message.

    • fontawesome is used in lots of places throughout the template and is an inherent part of the template/gantry it will be loaded unless you want to start hacking the code.

      In my opinion trying to do this is an unnecessary academic exercise. However, I can tell you that the main references to it will be located in
      \libraries\gantry\assets\jui\less\font-awesome\path.less
      \libraries\gantry\assets\jui\less\font-awesome4\path.less

    • I agree with you MrT about'trying to do this is an unnecessary academic exercise'! I am actually getting 99/100 on Gmetrix and 97/100 for YSlow and I am not sure why I am complaining about this. I guess I am just looking to perfect the overall performance and get 100/100 and all of them (LOL).

      Once again, I thank you, MrT, for your speedy responses and I wish you a wonderfull day my friend!
