Google font delivery
3 replies · Started by Philip on November 1, 2021
Hi Guys,
It's my understanding that when Google Fonts are loaded externally, Google detects the operating system and browser of the requesting device, and delivers only the optimal font format (EOT, TTF, WOFF, etc).
When Google Fonts are chosen in the Customizer, does GeneratePress (or GenerateBlocks) modify this process in any way? Say, delivering only WOFF2 fonts when WOFF would be the best format?
Thanks.
Phil

Hi there,
No GP and GB don't modify the request behaviour for google fonts - this is an example of the requests it generates:
<link rel="stylesheet" id="generate-google-fonts-css" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C600%2C600italic&display=auto&ver=3.1.0" media="all">
Understood. Thanks David.
You're welcome
