font load

@redag555 I’ve checked your website and the GTmetrix report and as you preloaded the font files, the plugin added the right LINK tags and the browser takes the font files as a high priority and adds them to the top of the waterfall. What’s the thing that you find unusual when you’re saying “loading like that”? Perhaps I misunderstood you.

Hi – sorry for not being clear see attached.

Thanks.

@redag555 I’ve made a few tests and in my Chrome’s console, they only show once. In GTmetrix the list of those fonts is greyed out and have the HTML class fromCache, though GTmetrix doesn’t provide (at least I haven’t noticed anything about that) information about the greyed areas. Also, you’ve chosen to preload some fonts that are outdated and because fonts from this URL https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic&ver=5.2.2&display=swap are different, the following warning show up in Chrome’s console:

• The resource https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/roboto/v20/KFOlCnqEu92Fr1MmEU9fBBc4.woff2 was preloaded using link preload but not used within a few seconds from the window’s load event. Please make sure it has an appropriate as value and it is preloaded intentionally.

You can either choose to avoid preloading and see how your website performs or update the preloaded URLs. In future versions of Asset CleanUp (most likely the Pro version), there will be ways to automatically check the URL of the Google Fonts and print them accordingly. This is not that easy though and needs to be done in such a way that it won’t affect the page speed as the host needs to connect to fonts.googleapis.com and analyze the contents of the CSS file.

thank you!

@redag555 on a side note, you can load in GTmetrix this URL https://www.modmed.com/plastic-surgery/?wpacu_no_load – which will access the page without any Asset CleanUp settings – it will still show that grey list that seems to be duplicated load (I doubt it is, at least in my tests).

PS: Interesting to check the difference between reports when you’re not using /?wpacu_no_load – quite a significant change, make me glad the plugin does its job once again ??
