How to decrease load time | Fonts

fonts are the most important element in a page. without it, nothing can be delivered without using images or signs as a replacement.

some people assign some special fonts on their page just to give their page the new identity. the owner identity. it’s a good thing. if only the visitor have a good internet connection. otherwise, it’ll take some cup of tea to finish loading.

to prevent your visitors from leaving your page before they read anything you’ve published, do consider to use only CSS Web Safe Font Combinations. this may improve page load and visitors experience.
