Do you guys have data on the tradeoff between subsetting for smaller file size and cache hits? When people use subsets on the CDN, are they de-duped so the same

Do you guys have data on the tradeoff between subsetting for smaller file size and cache hits? When people use subsets on the CDN, are they de-duped so the same subset on another site would still be cached? If it does make a difference, would you release data on the popularity of various subsets?
(Also I hope you guys have a search box for that feature - icnfnt.com always made for a fun game of "spot these icons" for the whole office)
- fortawesome 11y agoCache hits vs subsetting FA only is probably a wash overall. I don't have numbers for that specifically, but that's my strong hunch. As soon as you want to add your logo or use a different icon set, it's worth it. I think Fonticons is more important if you're looking for something a bit different, style-wise. (We're dogfooding Fonticons on Fonticons. And we had a lot of fun with some of our error pages: https://fonticons.com/404.html https://fonticons.com/404.html, https://fonticons.com/500.html https://fonticons.com/500.html, https://fonticons.com/503.html https://fonticons.com/503.html. Copy and pasting icons out of Illustrator makes it super fast.)
