Can I stop GenerateBlocks from loading Google Fonts?

[Randy]

I would like to stop loading google fonts for GB, as it’s already being loaded. Is there a setting or some code to do this? Just trying to speed up my site. Thanks!

<link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’generate-fonts-css’ href=’//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:300,300italic,regular,italic,700,700italic’ media=’all’ />

<link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’generateblocks-google-fonts-css’ href=’//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:100,100italic,300,300italic,regular,italic,700,700italic,900,900italic&display=swap’ media=’all’ />

Hi,

You can check our documentation: https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/typography-overview/

There’s a line here about that.

“If you’re using a Google Font but hosting it locally, simply leave the “Google Font” toggle un-checked.”

Or since it’s already being imported by the theme, you can just toggle un-checked.

Hi, Thanks for the reply, I don’t think it really addresses my question.

I am not locally hosting the google fonts. I am loading just Lato, and limited sizes, controlled in the customize section, typography. No issue there.

What I’d like to avoid, is GenPress loading the fonts again for GenBlocks. See, it’s loaded twice:

<link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’generate-fonts-css’ href=’//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:300,300italic,regular,italic,700,700italic’ media=’all’ />

<link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’generateblocks-google-fonts-css’ href=’//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:100,100italic,300,300italic,regular,italic,700,700italic,900,900italic&display=swap’ media=’all’ />

Loading the same font a second time and adding sizes I’m not using seems redundant and slows things down. Thanks.

It also applies to fonts hosted elsewhere. Not just the locally hosted ones.

The point of toggling GenerateBlock’s google fonts was so it doesn’t load the fonts that are already loaded by GeneratePress, regardless if its locally added or taken from external source(Google).

What I’d like to avoid, is GenPress loading the fonts again for GenerateBlocks. See, it’s loaded twice:

Since you want to do the reverse: (unload GeneratePress’ google font rather than unload GenerateBlocks’)

You can try this instead – https://docs.generatepress.com/article/remove-google-fonts/
