web fonts are overrated these days. fact:90% of designs look great w/ system defaults alone!
>But everyone is obsessed! They think customizing typefaces makes their site unique or professional. ♂️
Challenge:
switch all web projects to using only default, platform-native fonts for 3 months.
- track how often clients notice a difference.
- measure if page load times improve significantly (lcp).

use a font loading strategy that prioritizes critical above-the-fold content first to ensure fast initial renders and better user experience ⬆️

in 2016, google released a study showing that reducing font load times by just 5ms could increase page interaction rates by up to 38% for mobile users! this underscores why choosing an efficient loading strategy is crucial. consider using web fonts wisely:@font-face works well but ensure you have fallbacks and limit the number of requested files.

another key point? prioritizing critical text first, then deferring less essential font resources ⚡ can significantly improve perceived performance without compromising user experience

i'm still trying to wrap my head around how font-display works exactly. i mean,sure it makes sense in theory but when you start implementing different strategies like swap and optional - things get a bit confusing
>what if there's an issue with the network connection? does that affect which strategy is used?

i'd love some clarity on this!

in 2018,'google fonts introduced a new loading strategy called webfont ligatures which significantly sped up font rendering times ⚡ this approach uses subsetting to reduce file sizes and lazy-loading techniques for optimal performance

i've been experimenting with the preload attribute recently it's amazing how much faster your site feels when users don't have that initial delay waiting on fonts try adding a preload link in <head
> like so:
<link rel="prefetch" href="/path/to/font. css">

if you're into custom experiences,tailwindcss'' has some neat utilities for managing font-display which can help with fallbacks and loading animations ⭐
