  • Hey @arvindsinghu, are you utilizing this font within the theme? If you’re not using the font, then you can safely remove the reference to that resource.

    Hi , if I remove this google font code then , will my website get effected 🙂

    I’ll need the answer to the question about whether you are utilizing the font Lato… Can you post the URL to your site? I can look at it that way to see if appears you are using it or not.

    Loading that is only taking 36ms on average for me and you are using Lato & Kalam throughout the style sheets. IMO, it’s not going to change your loading speed enough to change. Just my two cents…

    Sir , now I’m totally confused . Please tell me now what to do 🙂

    What if I delete this google font code from the coding ,” doing this will harm my website ???

    arvindsinghu: If you want to make a change like this, you should do it in a child theme, and not in the original theme files.

    Making a child theme prevents your changes from being overwritten when you update the theme. If you’re new to child themes, here are some resources to help:

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

    
https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/01/create-customize-wordpress-child-theme/

    Once you have your child theme created, you’ll want to create a functions.php file inside of your child theme’s folder.

    Then, paste the following content into that file:

    
    <?php
    
    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'scratchpad_child_remove_default_fonts', 20);
    
    /*Disable the default Google Fonts*/
    
    function scratchpad_child_remove_default_fonts(){
    
      wp_dequeue_style( 'scratchpad-fonts' );
    
    };
    

    This will disable the loading of the Google Fonts that are used by default.

    The last thing to do is to activate the child theme from Appearance > Themes.

    If you do not like how the site looks using the child theme, you can always activate the original theme again.
