What’s the thing that you find unusual when you’re saying “loading like that”? Perhaps I misunderstood you. * Thread Starter [redag555](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redag555/) * (@redag555) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/font-load/#post-11845478) * Hi – sorry for not being clear see attached. * [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1j7U-St4Qdmexka1E8LPBuX8Y0OK90t_n/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1j7U-St4Qdmexka1E8LPBuX8Y0OK90t_n/view?usp=sharing) * Thanks. r * Plugin Author [Gabe Livan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabelivan/) * (@gabelivan) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/font-load/#post-11845663) * [@redag555](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redag555/) I’ve made a few tests and in my Chrome’s console, they only show once. In GTmetrix the list of those fonts is greyed out and have the HTML class _fromCache_, though GTmetrix doesn’t provide (at least I haven’t noticed anything about that) information about the greyed areas. Also, you’ve chosen to preload some fonts that are outdated and because fonts from this URL [https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic&ver=5.2.2&display=swap](https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic&ver=5.2.2&display=swap) are different, the following warning show up in Chrome’s console: - The resource [https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/roboto/v20/KFOlCnqEu92Fr1MmEU9fBBc4.woff2](https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/roboto/v20/KFOlCnqEu92Fr1MmEU9fBBc4.woff2) was preloaded using link preload but not used within a few seconds from the window’s load event.

In future versions of Asset CleanUp (most likely the Pro version), there will be ways to automatically check the URL of the Google Fonts and print them accordingly. This is not that easy though and needs to be done in such a way that it won’t affect the page speed as the host needs to connect to fonts.googleapis.com and analyze the contents of the CSS file. * Thread Starter [redag555](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redag555/) * (@redag555) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/font-load/#post-11845670) * thank you! * Plugin Author [Gabe Livan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabelivan/) * (@gabelivan) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/font-load/#post-11845702) * [@redag555](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redag555/) on a side note, you can load in GTmetrix this URL [https://www.modmed.com/plastic-surgery/?wpacu_no_load](https://www.modmed.com/plastic-surgery/?wpacu_no_load)– which will access the page without any Asset CleanUp settings – it will still show that grey list that seems to be duplicated load (I doubt it is, at least in my tests). * PS: Interesting to check the difference between reports when you’re not using/? wpacu_no_load – quite a significant change, make me glad the plugin does its job once again 🙂 Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) The topic ‘font load’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/wp-asset-clean-up/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1981952) * [Asset CleanUp: Page Speed Booster](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-asset-clean-up/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-asset-clean-up/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-asset-clean-up/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-asset-clean-up/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-asset-clean-up/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-asset-clean-up/reviews/) * 5 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Gabe Livan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabelivan/) * Last activity: [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/font-load/#post-11845702) * Status: resolved
