# How to Disable Loading for Elementor Icons?

## Key Takeaways

- Elementor allows the addition of various icons to enhance user experience but does not provide an option to disable specific icon types.
- Nexter Extension (Free) plugin enables users to disable different types of icons in Elementor through the WordPress Dashboard.
- Users can access the Disable Icons section in Nexter, toggle off unwanted icon types, and save changes to remove them from the Elementor icon library.

Elementor comes with a variety of icons that can be added to your site for a better user experience. However, you may not use all types of icons on your website. So disabling the extra types of icons can improve the Elementor page builder's performance.

But there is no option within Elementor to disable specific types of icons for that, you have to use third party plugins or custom coding. If you are using the [Nexter Extension (Free) plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/nexter-extension/), you can easily disable different types of icons in your Elementor page builder.
