    Hello Tom,

    I wanted to ask you about the https://fonts.gstatic.com/ in the theme. I mean, i guess it’s in the theme. I use some advanced SEO tools to monitor issues on my websites. Now i get this message that the https://fonts.gstatic.com/ gives a 4xx status code on 29 different pages. This is the amount of my regular pages and posts combined.

    When i check the code of a random page i see this: <link href=’https://fonts.gstatic.com&#8217;
    But when i click on it, it sends to a non-existing page.

    Is there someway i can remove that piece of code? I mean, i don’t think i need it, right?

    Here’s a page for example: sitelink

    Thanks in advance:)

    Hi Karim,

    It’s a preconnect – same thing can be found in the latest TwentySeventeen theme.

    It preconnects to the server where Google Fonts are served from to increase the load speed.

    Hey Tom:)

    Ok, i get it. So no need to remove it? And won’t give issues for SEO?

    No, there shouldn’t be any issues at all ๐Ÿ™‚
