Not necessarily: your browser caches a different version of font-awesome for each website you visit. There's no way for it to tell that site1.com/static/font-awesome is the same as site1.com/resources/font-awesome until it makes the HTTP request and downloads it.

Many sites use the provided MaxCDN URL though, which would be cached between sites.
