 * Dear developers,
 * It is possible to stop oceanwp from requesting italic font from Google? I want
   to do this as I don’t use italic font at all and I want to improve performance.
 * Thank you for reading and your help.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Favoid-loading-italic-font%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * I added this code to my child theme php file:
 * function myprefix_google_fonts( $array ) {
    return array( ‘Lato’, ‘Roboto’, ‘
   poppins’, ‘Karla’ ); } add_filter( ‘ocean_google_fonts_array’, ‘myprefix_google_fonts’);
 * It only loads those fonts now….
 * I think 🙂

 * Hello,
 * Try to add the below code to the functions.php file of the oceanwp child theme
   and check it works or not –
 * `add_filter( 'ocean_google_font_enqueue_italics', '__return_false');`
