Font Awesome is currently experiencing an outage, so many webpages will have a broken UI or even broken functionality if there was any tied to icons (ask me how I know)
Figured I’d make a meme too: Image

And this why you cache
Why the fuck would you call an external API for a static font?? O_o
Does it have something to do with paid plans?
Just download it yourself and no outage.
Oh no! Anyways,
Looks like it’s fixed now
For Vue definitely, but I assume for the other big js frameworks you can easily just make it so font awesome is bundled with your app.

Unless you need to supply an arbitrary FA icon It’s more performant to import SVG symbols.
I think most affected sites will just have broken social media icons in their footers that nobody was going to click anyway.

One of our key functionalities was disrupted because the link was behind an icon 🙃
