# font display css

 * Hi all
 * I did the pagespeed test on PageSpeed and I got a low score on performance.
 * It looks like the main cause is “font-display” thing. PageSpeed recommends me
   to add font-display CSS.
 * So I tried to put the code below to my additional CSS, but it’s still not working.(
   I’m using generatepress for the theme btw)
 * @font-face{
    font-family:'Open Sans'; src:url('https://MYBLOGTITLE/wp-content/
   themes/generatepress/assets/fonts/generatepress.woff2') format('woff2'); font-
   weight:600; font-style:normal}
 * I’ve also tried to work this out through WP Rocket by putting the code(/wp-content/
   themes/generatepress/assets/fonts/generatepress.woff2) under “Preload Fonts”.
   But this also didn’t work.
 * If there’s any idea, please let me know. Thanks.

 * Thanks for your reply!
 * I’ve just tried to add the last line and re-run my PageSpeed test, but the same
   problem occurs again..
 * And I don’t think there’s any other problems with the 6 things you mentioned 
   above.
 * Anything else I can try?

 * I mean I would love to provide the address, but it’s all in Korean so I didn’t
   think it would be helpful.
 * It just says that I need to add font-display css for one of my fonts, woff2.
 * And the url for the font was provided which is in the question text above.

 * If you’re unable to share your address for me to check the code full code on 
   the site…. then I’ll advise you to ask your **GeneretePress** theme developer
   for help with this. They built the theme and should be able to help you with 
   this without an inspection of your site.
 * Good luck!

 * After a fair bit of googling, I found out the `generatepress.woff2` font does
   not even have text. It’s only used to display the theme’s icons.
 * Meanwhile, the theme can alternatively display the same icons using SVG, which
   completely avoids the web font display problem.
 * 1) Remove the CSS fix you added, as that’s not needed (and obviously didn’t work)
   
   2) Go to APPEARANCE => CUSTOMIZE => GENERAL, change the ICON TYPE to SVG, and
   publish the change.
 * That should solve the problem
 * If you have any caching/optimization plugins, you may have to flush their caches.
