Hi Kadence team,

after tweaking with Fast Velocity Minify and WP Super Cache, i am pretty pleased with the overall speed and score of the site but there are a few items that i still try to fix:

1) I see 4 requests for the logo, requesting the file in 4 different sizes – why? Can i avoid this?

2) The whole site only uses Arial so i would be happy if NOT loading google scripts would be possible.
I did set all fonts to Arial and set to load fonts locally but i still get this one loading externally:

Also the minify plugin is set to not load google fonts, but..
The same file is also generating some errors in the console.

3) …fonts/kt-icon.woff2 has no “cache lifetime” but this is set through the caching plugin and seems to work for all other resources. Also, it seems to load pretty late (Google PageSpeed also has it under: “Ensure text remains visible during webfont load”)

4) a big chunk of the load time is because of this: “…/?wc-ajax=get_refreshed_fragments” I understand that this is the Cart and it loads on every page. Other than forcing it to not load except shop pages, is there another trick that would reduce its load time?

Maybe i just need to set the Minify plugin differently? Here are my settings:

Thank you in advance for your help.
