[Support request] Eliminate render-blocking resources Problem

[Wayne]

Hi! so i’m currently trying to improve my site speed. However one of the problems i’m getting is with the “Eliminate render-blocking resources”.

As you can see in the screenshot:

the problem is with the /css?family=…(fonts.googleapis.com)

How do I fix this so I can improve my page speed?

Hi there,

are you using a cache/optimization plugin that is preloading the font ? If so that will be the issue – as fonts are not render blocking unless preloaded.

mm I don’t think I have anything that is preloading fonts.

As you can see in my WP Rocket plugin, the preload font section is empty:

is there anything else I can do to fix this?

You may want to try serving the fonts locally.
The simplest method is to use the OMGF Plugin.

Or you can do it manually:
