Fonts & Resource Hints
What it does
Fonts & Resource Hints improve how browsers load fonts and connect to third-party hosts:
- font-display: swap for Google Fonts
- Preload critical fonts
- Preconnect to Google Fonts, YouTube, Vimeo, or custom hosts
Related cleanup toggles (such as disabling unused Google Fonts) live under WordPress Cleanup.

Tips
- Preconnect only hosts you actually use on most pages.
- Avoid duplicating the same preconnect/preload rules in WP Rocket or LiteSpeed.
- If fonts flash incorrectly, disable preload/swap temporarily while testing.
