• Then add this following code:

function minimog_child_disable_gutenberg_wp_enqueue_scripts() {
  if( ! is_singular('post') ) {
     wp_dequeue_style('wp-block-library');
     wp_dequeue_style('wp-block-library-theme');
     wp_dequeue_style('wc-blocks-style');
  }
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'minimog_child_disable_gutenberg_wp_enqueue_scripts', 100);

Config Elementor settings to get best performance

1. Disable default font:

Avoid duplicate fonts load by Elementor and Minimog

1. Go to Elementor -> Settings -> General -> Tick on Disable Default Fonts box.

2. Edit any page with Elementor -> Site Settings (Click on Bars icon) -> Global Fonts -> System Fonts => Choose font family as ‘Default’ for all settings: Primary, Secondary, Text, Accent

2. Disable Font Awesome 4 Support

New websites don’t need support old Font Awesome version. So choose ‘No’ to disable it then reduce some assets loading for your website.
