This assumption that they don't have the fonts cached is only sensible if each user is unique. But that means that we have 73 BILLION unique users.
- sloanesturz 10y agoNot necessarily: your browser caches a different version of font-awesome for each website you visit. There's no way for it to tell that site1.com/static/font-awesome is the same as site1.com/resources/font-awesome until it makes the HTTP request and downloads it.
- stephen_g 10y agoMany sites use the provided MaxCDN URL though, which would be cached between sites.
