Hi,
I use the Autoptimize Plugin. I tried Speedbooster but it’s complex and it also gave me 16 instances of where JS/CSS were blocking.
When I conducted the test after the 7.6 upgrade, I was slower and no longer in the green on Google
Much of the issue has to do with Google Fonts. When I did test on Pingdom, it said that Is should combine files
From Pingdom:
“There are 4 CSS files served from fonts.googleapis.com. They should be combined into as few files as possible.”
I am not advanced. How can I resolve this?

Hi,
The google fonts are different fonts and our theme cannot combine them into one single string. If you use many fonts you will see this happening. Please try to use only one or 2 fonts on your site. We have 2 default fonts already so 2 are already loaded. If you use 2 more, then they will be 4 loaded. As for the rest of the page speed issues, you should follow this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ as your site is not optimized.
Thank you!
Thanks. I recently switched themes. Would the google font have transferred to my Newspaper Theme? I just assumed that my current fonts were the Newspaper7 defaults.
For advanced use, it’s good to “unhook” the fonts from being enqueued in the theme functions file, and you can combine them as so:

for advanced users, you actually capture the CSS from google and put at top of you style.css file.
I cover this a bit in my long winded tutorial thread on optimization in the docs > tutorials > DIY/best of forums
That might not help, but perhaps give you juice to go on an adventure on learning to “super optimize” Google font loading fpr best pagespeed (how I get 100/100) đ
Thanks Chris. I am not an advanced user but I will check it out and see if I can give it a try.
