    Hi. Thanks for a great plugin.

    I’m playing around with “Preload specific requests” and fonts. FA related that come with the theme. Just doing 3 requests.

    Everything works fine. However, I am testing in dev tools and lighthouse and it seems consistently it get a better score (upwards of 8 points) not using “Preload specific requests ”

    Might there be a reason for this, or am I most likely imagining things!? I’m testing on mobile if that makes a difference.

    Thanks

    Well, preloading resources does use bandwidth, so for the mobile results (where bandwidth is limited) it *could* indeed have a negative impact. From the 3 resources you were preloading remove the one with the biggest filesize and re-try maybe?
