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)

It has been fixed. Back to work!

Figured I’d make a meme too:

    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 🙃

      Good moment to evaluate whether that’s the best solution going forwards!
