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.
