Optimize page load speed

  • Hi,

    I am trying to optimize the page load speed of my website. I use Google LightHouse to check its performance, as below:

    https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.datanumen.com%2F

    In the result, it suggested:

    1. Preload key requests, for the following resources:

    …fonts/montserrat-v14-latin-700.woff2(www.datanumen.com)
1,080 ms
…fonts/lato-v16-latin-regular.woff2(www.datanumen.com)
930 ms
…fonts/montserrat-v14-latin-regular.woff2(www.datanumen.com)
750 ms
…fonts/lato-v16-latin-700.woff2(www.datanumen.com)
660 ms
…fonts/montserrat-v14-latin-600.woff2(www.datanumen.com)
510 ms
…fonts/montserrat-v14-latin-300.woff2(www.datanumen.com)
480 ms

    However, I try to search text ‘montserrat-v14-latin-700.woff2’ in the HTML source of the page, but cannot find it. I also try to search it in header.php, still cannot find it.

    In such a case, how can I optimize the resource loading?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    These are custom font files that come with your theme, and they’re called from your CSS files.

    I use system fonts only, so I never have to worry about optimizing the loading of custom fonts.

    Also, do you really need 22 different Fonts? Most sites find that 7 or less works just fine. The more Fonts you remove the faster the page will load, without doing anything else.

    It could still be just a few font families that have many fonts. When you change font-weight you are using a different font. If you have 3 different fonts with 3 different weights you will have a total of 9 fonts, not 3. I Roboto font family in google fonts has 12 fonts in its font family. They might not have a lot of font families. But each font family could have a lot of different styles. It really depends on the designer. As a general rule, I think most people only use 2 to 3 font families. I usually use 2 with 3 different font types.
