I don’t recommend this plugin at all. It signs a useless font which is not displayed in the front end to the users but creates core web vitals issues on the back end. The font name is fontello.woff and it is seen nowhere on the front end. Deleting or adding display swap on the font stylesheet also does not works. Moreover, they are two stylesheets and cannot decide which stylesheet is used. I don’t recommend using this plugin unless it is the last option to use.

Tom never fails to make amazing plugins and this social icons plugin is no different. I just hope that there are plans to add a discord icon in the near future. 5/5 plugin!

This is one of the best social icons plugins out there. But I will cut one star because it lacks the social icon for Tik Tok, one of the fastest-growing social media out there.

This has been great, but currently does not appear to be compatible with WordPress version 5.8.1
