 * First preload can not be used because it is not support by WordPress and more
   importantly not supported by all major browsers.
 * In addition, The font file is only 1,280 bytes, so, if the webhost is really 
   taking 1.8 seconds to serve that file, then there bigger issues at play that 
   you should seek the support of your webhost to resolve. This file should transfer
   in tens of milliseconds. And, after reviewing the waterfall report on GTmetrix
   it does only take 20-40 milliseconds.
 * I tried to visit your site, but the cert is bad and if I ignore that, then my
   firewall blocks it flagging it as a possible malware site. So I’m not going to
   risk viewing the page.
 * Also looking at the GTmetrix report for your site, it seems there are over 330
   requests many of which take multiple seconds to load. I would recommend reducing
   the number of requests per page load and better optimizing of the CSS/JS files
   being loaded. You will get far better results targeting that low hanging fruit
   vs worrying about a single 1,280 byte file.
 * I hope this helps!
