WordPress Font Performance

Typography can become expensive when a design loads too many families, weights or remote resources.

Practical checklist

• Use fewer font families.
• Load only weights you actually use.
• Prefer system fonts when they suit the design.
• If self-hosting fonts, keep the setup maintainable.
• Test for layout shifts and late-loading text.

Measure the complete page

Performance work should be validated on representative pages after your normal plugins, scripts and content are present.
