# Guide to Fix Site Slow Due to Blocked MaxCDN URL by MCMC of Font Awesome of Wordpress

Update as of 10th Aug 2022:
We've also noticed that polyfill.io is also being blocked by MCMC now. Detected blocked remote resources by MCMC as of today is **maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com ** and **polyfill.io**

Recently, Malaysia MCMC has blocked the following hostname which caused slow issue for any WordPress website that uses/loaded Font Awesome on the following remote sources:

|| https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/*
|| https://polyfill.io

This issue has caused slow website loading, when the website is loaded from Malaysia ISPs i.e Unifi, Digi, Maxis, Celcom, etc.

There are **2 methods** to resolve this.

|| Method 1 : Local host the Font Awesome resources on your own hosting

Tutorial for hosting Font Awesome in your own hosting can be found here: https://fontawesome.com/v5.15/how-to-use/on-the-web/setup/hosting-font-awesome-yourself

|| Method 2 : Remove Font Awesome remote resources URL from your website

This is the easier method as the first method require script/coding update, which lots of Wordpress users may not want/know how to go about. Font Awesome are commonly bundled with some themes/plugins and most likely are not being used. So it is safe to unload them. You can easily unload Font Awesome via a plugin such as **https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-asset-clean-up/**


1. Login to **Wordpress Admin Dashboard**
