While it is an additional HTTP request, it's not necessarily another host. You can perfectly host fonts in your own site
- ainar-g 8y agoTrue. But how many actually do that vs. how many just slap a “fonts.google.com” link because “meh”.
- Phrodo_00 8y agoYeah, which sucks. I use gulp-google-webfonts to download fonts to my resource folder and use them from there. Even then I'm careful not to use more than 1 or 2.
- davedx 8y agoI develop on the train to work a lot, where the wifi quality ranges from "can almost stream video" to "in the middle of a field". Whenever I add google fonts to a webapp I'm working on, I really notice it. Lately I've simply not been using them anymore for this reason.
