Hi,

I’m working on a site currently at https://www.regather.info/ that should only be using two fonts, Oswald and PT Sans. When I run tests on GTmetrix I’m seeing this in the YSlow report:

There are 5 static components without a far-future expiration date.

https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans%3A300%2C400%2C600%2C700%2C800
https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Raleway%3A100%2C200%2C300%2C400%2C500%2C600%2C700%2C800%2C900
https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Droid+Serif%3A400%2C700
https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald%3A%2C300%2C400%2C700
https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans%3A400%2C400italic%2C700%2C700italic%7COswald%3A400%2C700&subset=latin%2Clatin-ext

Basically there’s 4 fonts there that I don’t want to load at all.

I searched in the forum here and have added this to my funcitons.php:

function x_remove_google_fonts(){
  wp_dequeue_style( 'x-font-custom' );
  wp_dequeue_style( 'x-font-standard' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'x_remove_google_fonts', 100 );

However this seems to have had no effect. Can you advise how I can go about removing these requests?

Thanks,

Henry

I see you have Google Fonts selected in Typography. Please don’t use Google Fonts there. Also check other plugins that might be using Google Fonts.

Thanks.

Hi Christian,

But I do want to use Oswald and PT Sans which are Google Fonts, so should I download those and serve them myself in that case?

Thanks,

Henry

Hi Henry,

These two fonts will be loaded by theme theme for heading and body if you set them from Customzie > Typography. So no other font should be loaded unless a plugin adding them.

Thanks!
