 * I’ve been using OMGF successfully for a while now. However, recently I discovered
   the “Preload key requests” recommendation (in the Lighthouse Report) for OMGF-
   webfonts and Font Awesome web fonts. I didn’t change anything with the OMGF plugin
   recently.
 * What would you recommend to do with this?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpreload-omgf-lighthouse%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@matthijsdebooij](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matthijsdebooij/),
 * I’m happy OMGF is helping you raise your site’s performance! 🙂
 * I ran an audit in Chrome for the site you mentioned, but I’m not seeing this 
   recommendation. Could you give me a bit more information?
 * – Is it on a specific page?
    – What settings are you using for the audit? – Are
   you using CSS optimization plugins?

 * Sure. I ran the test with webpagetest.org with default settings + enabling Lighthouse
   report. See here: [Lighthouse report](https://webpagetest.org/lighthouse.php?test=191007_3C_60a100076190f1e1a9f04e1ea9e6d120&run=2)
 * Is use Autoptimize for CSS optimisation.

 * Okay, so this is a tricky one.
 * The thing is: since you’re using a CSS optimization plugin (Autoptimize), there
   is only one big CSS file. And since the preload-attribute can only added per 
   stylesheet (and not per font, for example) you can only add the preload-attribute
   to the stylesheets created by Autoptimize. This means it’s basically out of OMGF’s
   control.
 * You could try playing around with the Preload setting in Autoptimize? Autoptimize
   > Extra > Preload specific requests. Try adding one of the mentioned requests
   to the list, to see if that solves it!

 * Do you mean Autoptimize > Extra > Preconnect to 3rd party domains (advanced users)?
   I don’t see a Preload specific requests option in Autoptimize…

 * How do you always do that Frank [@optimizingmatters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/)?
   If I say your name out loud right now, will you stand in my office in a few minutes?
   😛
 * Anyway, sorry for the (partial) misinformation [@matthijsdebooij](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matthijsdebooij/),
   I’ve been a long time beta tester of Autoptimize, so I forgot that the preload
   feature is currently only available in beta.
 * It works really well, though. So I suggest you use the beta as well. 🙂
 * Groetjes! 😀
