GTMetrix "Cancelled" status for GP fonts

Hi there,

in Customizer > General what is the Icon Type set to ?

Hey David,

Thanks for the response. It's set to SVG.

OK, then there should be no reason those requests are being made. Do you have any plugin or server side caching ? If so can you try purging those caches ( and refresh any CDN if in place ).

Sorry for the belated response, I didn't get a notification about this.

I've tried clearing both WP Rocket and Kinsta's cache (which has a built in cloudflare cdn), the issue persists.

I've also seen it applies to:

I'm not sure why it's Aborting them though. This is the full header:

Is there anything else I could try?

Hi Matt,

To test if GTmetrix may have a cached version of your site, can you try testing with a different performance test platform?: Example: https://www.webpagetest.org/

Kindly let us know how it goes.

Hey Fernando,

Thank you for the prompt response. I've tried using the webpagetest as well as using a different product (in case the first was cached) but it also brings up the same error: https://www.webpagetest.org/result/220706_BiDcKR_44Y/1/details/#waterfall_view_step1

What's more, after clearing the cache of my site I noticed there's these weird symbols at the top: \n\n\n https://snipboard.io/KXRhfz.jpg (a screenshot of the top left of the header).

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Matt

Hi Matt,

i am not seeing those symbols - did you fix that?

Regarding the font, i found there is a bunch of preload links added to the head of your site - which includes the old GP icon fonts:

https://www.screencast.com/t/CNBpn5aEvX

Do you know how those preloads are being added ?

Hey David,

Thank you for the discovery, that definitely helped me narrow it down to WP Rocket. Apparently it has a Preload Font feature that was still linking to the old fonts.

I removed them from there and it fixed it. I'm not sure what happened to the n/n/n though but I'm happy it's not there anymore.

I appreciate the help!

Glad to hear that!!

Proper CORS headers need to be set between your server and CDN to prevent this. WP Rocket adds CORS on your end but the CDN end may not.
