    Hi Frank

    not sure if this is something AO can do or can affect, but is there a way to preload fonts?

    This page is delayed 800ms by …fonts/egfont.woff?85610117

    Thanks ??

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

    try the “preload” field on the “Extra” tab maybe?

    Ok! Didn’t know that was an option. I’ll give it a go.

    By the way, Pagespeed insights says lazy loading is not operational on the same page, even though I’ve ticked the lazy loading option in AO.

    Can you tell me why?

    Adding that font to the preload section in AO worked, thanks!

    Just need to get the lazy loading sorted out now.

    You’ll probably have one or more background images set in the CSS, which AO cannot lazyload Steve. Consider changing them to normal images or background-images set in the style attribute of the node (div or other) they should appear in, those AO can lazyload.

    The images not being lazy loaded are the ones in the Essential Grid gallery on that page.

    Lazy loading is working on that page now. I just had to turn on the option in Essential Grid.

    Many thanks for your help, super quick and effective as always.

    Have a good day ??

    You’re welcome.

    As you’re a power-user; do give 2.7 beta a try one of the next days, it’ll be out Friday May 1st ??

    Converting woff to woff2 also helps. I just went through this and it does make a sizeable difference.
