But why? Preloading GA means everything else gets a lower priority (particularly on poor connections) Surely the site content is more important than the analytics?
Right, others highlighted the fontawesome stuff, but it's not even that large (13K). Connection/TLS setup and total set of resources in the critical path is my concern there. Moving them later keeps them from competing.

I wasn’t talking about its KB size, just the large duration. Its impact is severe because it’s blocking critical in-page JS. That’s the bottleneck. Self-host it.

Yeah, I didn't touch on the font stuff because others mentioned it, but agree that reducing connection count (self-hosting) and re-ordering these requests is the right thing to do
