Hosting Google Fonts locally / Local Fonts settings

    The “Remove Google Fonts” in Asset Cleanup option worked like a charm (Clearfy couldn’t handle it at all!)

    Now when I already host my Google font locally is it advisable to turn on the “Apply font-display: CSS property value” function in the “Local Fonts” section?

    In lame man’s terms, what does that one do?

    Cheers,
    Stan

    @bestofbonus I’m glad you were able to remove the references to Google Fonts and now since you’re hosting the fonts locally, yes, it’s advisable to have the shown before it’s downloaded and rendered by the browser. There are a few articles there explaining it, including this one: https://css-tricks.com/hey-hey-font-display/ – it has a nice video that you could play and see the difference in loading. It should make completely sense then ??

    Google PageSpeed Insights will report this as “Ensure text remains visible during webfont load” with the description “Leverage the font-display CSS feature to ensure text is user-visible while webfonts are loading.“.

    Note that this is a Pro feature if you wish to use it automatically on any CSS you have on your website.
