Website shows standard font for a short amount of time

    Hi folks,
    for a long time now, we have the problem with showing a standard font on our page that mainly works with Visual Composer and offline Google Fonts via OMGF and we have a cache-plugin too called “Cache enabler”, but so far no one from the plugin creators could show us the solution how to hide the standard font completely and load immediately the designed font for the pages. That problem happens for all pages and I tried different solutions throughout the last years but can’t fix it. Maybe somebody has an idea? It seems the switching between standard font and designed font seems to take longer if your PC is slower. At the end the question is if it’s even fixable, because all Google fonts are loaded locally and that even maybe takes more time as fetching the google directly from Google.
    Thanks for your time!

    This is a feature not a bug in my opinion. Would you prefer if there was no text shown until the font loads? That would confuse a good number of users and probably increase your bounce rate if people are visiting from locations where the page loads slowly.

    I would recommend trying to load the font faster. You could consider hosting the font locally and applying it with CSS, which is faster than pulling from Google each time.

    Thank you! The fonts are already available locally. So it’s a feature and not a bug, that would explain why we can’t fix it 🙂
