If you're going to use FontAwesome, the responsible way to do it is to use IcoMoon to create a font subset of just the icons you need, and then save that as a custom font and use that. It'll bring your gzip size from 70KB down to maybe 10KB (obvs depending on how many icons you use).
Yes, don't use FontAwesome.
Why not? Over 1000,000,000 websites use it. 🤔
I only need 3 social icons. So, I rather choose svg than bloated FontAwesome.

IcoMoon is really good alternative.
