This article explains practical steps to shrink font payloads and reduce rendering delays so pages display text faster and more reliably for users.

It covers using system fallbacks, removing unused glyphs from font files, controlling loading behavior with font-display to avoid FOIT/FOUT, preloading critical fonts, and hosting fonts locally to reduce external latency.

The guide recommends tools and patterns (e.g., Font Squirrel, glyphhanger, font-display: swap, and selective preloading), and emphasizes testing changes and monitoring Core Web Vitals to confirm improvements.
