    Hello there @kt77,

    You have to copy the full URL to the font and paste it into the Fonts Preloading box and click preload. This will add the font to the preload list. You should paste the URLs one by one.
    After that, you can see that the URLs, will be added inside the <head> tag with <link rel=”preload” as=”font” and href=”the URL you have added”.

    Kind regards,
    Stoyan

    Hi Stoyan,

    Thank you very much for your kind reply. I will do it. BTW, just a last stupid question before case close. In future, if i don’t need the font, can i delete it off?

    Hey @kt77,

    If you are not sure if you need to use the font, make sure that something else is not requiring that asset. Since the font is from another plugin it is best to check with their developers for additional information whether you need it or not.

    If you remove a font, make sure that you also remove it from the Fonts Preloading, since it will lead to a request for an asset that is non-existent in the specified directory.

    Kind regards,
    Stoyan

    Hi Stoyan.

    Thank alot for your valuable help and now understand much better.

    @stoyangeorgiev I’m following along with this thread, and similarly added webfonts on my site to the “Fonts Preloading” box in SG Optimizer. Now that is complete I am not finding that <link rel=”preload”> is added to the page <head>

    Any suggestions? I appreciate support on this thread.

    David
