Optimize the Google fonts of WordPress to speed up the operation on domestic servers. wordpressgoogle

Since Google has been completely blocked, Google fonts cannot be loaded without circumventing the wall. Many novice friends often complain about how slow the host they bought is. The example website was given to open in seconds, but it takes dozens of seconds to open their own website. Moreover, it is a newly installed WordPress website without any pictures and it is very slow. In fact, many times WordPress is slow not because of the host, but because of Google fonts. Today we will provide you with a super detailed tutorial on optimizing Google fonts, just for beginners.

How to check if your website contains Google Fonts

First, open FireFox or Chrome and enter incognito mode. You can use the shortcut key Ctrl Alt P for Firefox and the shortcut key Ctrl Alt N for Chrome.

Secondly, enter the developer mode. Both browsers can use the shortcut Ctrl Alt N to enter. Here we take FireFox as an example.

Then visit your website and sort the loaded content by domain name at the bottom of the window. If you can see the content of 'fonts.googleapis.com', it means that your WordPress does reference Google fonts.

It looks like this in Chrome:

Optimizing Google Fonts Solution 1:

Install the plug-in. This is the simplest and most direct method and is more suitable for novices. Search for 'disable Google fonts' in the WordPress backend, and a bunch of plug-ins will come out. The top two plug-ins are "Disable Google Fonts" and "Remove Google Fonts References". Personally tested the "Remove Google Fonts Reference" plug-in to be more effective.

Optimize Google Font Solution 2:

Modify WordPress code. If you can modify your WP code through FTP or an online file editor, this is an effective method. Novice webmasters don’t have to worry, even if you don’t have any coding foundation, just follow the tutorial step by step. Open the wp-includes/scriptes-loader.php file. If you downloaded it locally via FTP, it is recommended to use notepad to open it. Use Ctrl H to replace the full text of googleapis with useso, then save and upload the overwritten source file.

The ultimate solution:

If the above methods fail, there is another simple and crude method, which is to package and download all WP files locally. Of course, the uploads folder under wp-content does not need to be used. Then use notepad's "File Search" function to replace all googleapis with useso, and then upload the modified file.

However, if you use CDN acceleration or any caching plug-in, you must clear the cache after modification, especially plug-ins such as wp-total-cache.
