FA+ xenforo-ui-sprite.png trigger ?

[eva2000]

Trying to optimise page load speed for FlatAwesome+ style and the loading of /styles/flatawesomeplus/xenforo/xenforo-ui-sprite.png seems to be triggered from within xenforo.js after it's loaded ? How exactly is that done and wondering if there's any alternate way of loading /styles/flatawesomeplus/xenforo/xenforo-ui-sprite.png without using xenforo.js ?

The reason is I am trying to use preload browser hints for /styles/flatawesomeplus/xenforo/xenforo-ui-sprite.png but seems xenforo.js always comes before it and blocks the visual render speed of the page from being faster

ah never mind problem was with ngx_pagespeed module it must of auto inlined the sprite image into html due to it's size

excluding sprite image from ngx_pagespeed allowed browser preload hint for the sprite image to work
