Disable Google Fonts on Mobile and Pagespeed Insights Issue

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi there.

I have disabled Google Fonts on mobile. The frontend seems to be working seamlessly as it should be. Unfortunately, Pagespeed Insights still indicates that (fonts.googleapis.com) is one of the render-blocking resources and this slows down the page speed significantly (I know this fact because I compared the results with the time I disabled Google Fonts completely from my site.

Please take a look at the issue by following the link below.
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvictorytale.com%2Fbest-ai-copywriting-tools%2F&hl=en

You will notice that in “eliminating render-blocking resources”, there is (fonts.googleapis.com.)

Best Regards,
Pun

More details regarding the issue:

Google Pagespeed Insights seems to switch back and forth between versions that use Google Fonts and the ones that Google fonts are disabled.I compared the fonts directly from the screenshot shown and saw the difference. I think this is the reason why the results varied.

However, for the frontend of a real user, it acts seamlessly as it should (Google fonts are disabled.)

Hello,

The option to disable the fonts for mobile is available only for the mobile theme plugin. If you not using the mobile theme plugin then the option isn’t used.
Also, I saw you have a good score.

Thank you!

Hi there.

Thank you for your response. However, I noticed that this option affects the mobile version of the standard theme as well. I can clearly see the change after implementing this option.

By the way, could you please tell me what is the font family used in the Newspaper theme after Google Fonts are disabled? Can I use the standard San-serif font to replace it?

Best Regards

Hello,

The Pro Prebuilt website uses Google fonts, if you don’t want to use the Google fonts, then you can add a custom font in Theme Panel and only that one.

Thank you!
