I importet 2 custom fonts to Enfold via the import tool.
I selected one via “general Styling” fonts as a header font.
The other font gets used on a few certain textblocks via css and developer setting by using a custom css class.
When using the site the fonts load VERY slowly.
How can I spead this up?Hey fabienneRedUmb,
Thank you for the inquiry.
Where did you get the font? The fonts (t2020stylee-regular.ttf & tt2020stylef-regular-ascii.ttf) are nearly 12MB in size, which is quite large. Have you considered using Google Fonts instead? Fonts like Roboto or Open Sans have an average file size of 170 KB, which could result in significant difference in loading speed or duration.
Best regards,
IsmaelHello Ismael,
I am well aware that there are plenty of other fonts available, I am also aware about google fonts.
However in this instance I chose those fonts. If you are interested in the fonts you can surely find them on the internet.Unfortunately my questions was centred not around availability of fonts, but how to speed up loading times.
I would be very appreciative if I could get an information on the matter on hand.
Thank you.
best regardsHi,
Thank you for the update.

If you prefer not to switch to a different font with a smaller file size, another option is to upgrade your hosting plan or subscribe to a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to accelerate the delivery of site resources, including fonts. However, we strongly advise considering an alternative font since a 12MB file size is quite large especially for a font file and this can significantly impact website loading times. This may result in slower user experiences, particularly on slower internet connections or mobile devices.
You can also implement basic site optimization by following the recommendations outlined in the following articles.
