READ theme - Keeps loading unused fonts
5 replies · Started by Goldstein on August 1, 2021
Hi Guys,
The website keeps loading unused google font:
https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Source+Serif+Pro:regular,600,700|Oswald:200,300,regular,500,600,700:formatted
I'm using the READ theme. I have checked whether this is not caused by another plugin etc. The moment I enable READ theme the fonts starts to load for now apparent reason and is flagged as 100% unused code.
How can I disable it?
thank you
Hi Goldstein,
Can you link us to the page in question? So we can inspect why it's being added.

Hi Elvin,
Here is the issue.
Eliminate render-blocking resources

Resources are blocking the first paint of your page. Consider delivering critical JS/CSS inline and deferring all non-critical JS/styles. Learn more.FCPLCP

There are a number of WordPress plugins that can help you inline critical assets or defer less important resources. Beware that optimizations provided by these plugins may break features of your theme or plugins, so you will likely need to make code changes.

I've checked the site and I don't think those 2 fonts are unused.
Your heading text is using Oswald and your body texts (paragraphs, anchors, etc) are using Source Serif Pro.
If it's the unused variants. Go to Appearance > Customize > Typography > Body and remove the variants you're not using.
Thank you Elvin...I'll look into it.
Let us know how it goes. :D
