Google WebFonts page load

[mikelowrey]

What would you consider is a good page load for a forum ?

I selected 4 options of the same font and I have a page load of 60. Would you consider that good?

No, it's hideously bad. 2.5 seconds at max for all worldwide visitors is good.

 

[mikelowrey]

Wait... the page load google uses is measured in seconds? any font I choose is at least 18 on page load!

 

[m1ne]

Oh! You mean score on pagespeed insights? If so, 60 is okay. Aim for 80+

Oh, it's +milliseconds page load time. It's fine.

Which forum is this for?

This thread coupled with the other one regarding styles (https://xenforo.com/community/threads/ui-x-vs-flatawesome-or.93914/) makes it appear that you are attempting to get support/questions answered while unlicensed.

Well, you know... it's just for theoretical research on how to reduce load times of pages. It just so happens he's on the XenForo chapter now.

I personally hate web-fonts... mostly because of cell phones.

When I am viewing a page on my PC, I have no issues with web fonts. But when I am viewing an article on my phone... often I can see the ENTIRE page, but its blank and white with no text. Then I have to wait 45 seconds for the text to load while the web fonts are downloaded.

I have an HTC One m8.

Wouldn't this be due to lack of a fallback font?
