Dear All,
My client has created a website, developing a React application that incorporates Adobe Font. This application is being integrated into a webpage for the benefit of their customers.
Whenever we tried to use Adobe Font we got a performance issue using the Google speed test.
Is there any recommended setting for the fonts so that we don't get performance issues during the page load?
Here are some recommendations for improving font performance in Magento when using Adobe Fonts to avoid page speed issues:
1. Limit the Number of Fonts - Only include font families/weights absolutely necessary for the desired design. Fewer custom fonts means fewer requests.
2. Set Optimal cache TTL for Font Files - Configure the browser cache expiry duration for Adobe Font files to 1 year using `.htaccess` rules. This prevents repeat downloading of static assets.
3. Preload Key Fonts - Use `<link rel="preload">` to prioritize loading of essential fonts that impact above-the-fold content first.
4. Enable GZIP Compression - GZIP compressing font file transfers can reduce transfer size by 50-70% making delivery faster over the wire.
5. Convert Fonts to WOFF2 - WOFF 2.0 Web Font format offers 30% better compression than formats like TTF/OTF. Use the WOFF2 versions fonts predominantly.
Additionally, utilizing a Magento optimized Managed Hosting provider is vital for the best page speed results. Their global CDN and fine-tuned server caching layers minimize origin requests to accelerate font delivery from locations nearest end-users. Expert configuration guarantees excellent performance for custom fonts.
