I just looked over the plans page, and I didn’t see anything. Can you screenshot the false claims for me? Would love to get that fixed up.

Sorry about this. The amount of engineering required is pretty high for making downgrade work, and we’re a small team. With limited time for new work, we end up prioritizing new fe…

Not sure on the 1000/visitors/site/day. But we're also on some pretty big sites as well. IIRC, the final number there is higher than what MaxCDN (BootstrapCDN folks) serves. Not by…

73 million sites comes from our friends at Meanpath (their search engine isn't running anymore, sadly). They showed us on 7.3% of websites. Best guess is there are about a billion …

They're back! Was just a hiccup. :)

Three things come to mind right away that seems like contributed to folks pulling the trigger and buying: 1. Pent up good will from using Font Awesome over the past 4 years. 2. The…

That's another one of the big things. We didn't talk about this one specifically, as it's not as common for folks to have. 1.5M uniques a month has come in handy, that's for sure.

We tried doing some Facebook advertising ourselves, but it didn't go so well. Jellop has done better, but they're REALLY great for products that have mass appeal. With our narrower…

You can indeed! Font Awesome Pro CDN will be free for open source projects. :)
