Why Choose Lordicon?
Fully Customizable
Modify icons directly within WordPress: choose colors, animation triggers (hover, click, loop), and more.
Peak Performance
Icons are rendered using image fallbacks on initial load and transition to animated formats only when users interact with them — keeping your pages fast and smooth. Icon assets load only on pages that actually contain a Lordicon block.
License-Friendly
Stay compliant with free personal or commercial use through clearly defined licensing plans.
External services
com ) to browse the library and to fetch the icons you choose. Without that connection the plugin cannot work.
What is sent, and when:
- While you browse the library — what you are looking for: your search text and the icon family and style you have selected.
- When you insert an icon — which icon it is, so the download can be counted against your plan.
- If you connect a Lordicon account — your email address, to sign you in. You can use the free icons without an account, and then nothing personal is sent.
All of this happens in your WordPress admin, on your server. Nothing is sent while a visitor views your site: once inserted, an icon is served from your own media library.
