Using the browser's default font helps web/blog load speed increase by more than 10%. In my opinion, the browser's default font is also beautiful because it is round, compact, and pretty.
When you create a blog/web, you cannot ignore choosing a beautiful font, the most familiar choice is to use google fonts.
Even though it's from Google, the browser still needs time to load because it's a 3rd party font. The advantage of 3rd party fonts is that they give us many options, but the loading speed for Google searches doesn't have many options.
So why don't you always use your browser's default font for your web/blog? The browser's default font is also beautiful, sometimes even more airy than the Roboto font... but there's no need to worry about optimal download speed because it's available.
But in general, when visitors come to your website/blog, not many people care about your font, they only care about what they need to find, if it's beautiful, it will probably only help you take selfies.
Advantages:
It's easy to install, so many people use it because it's easy to customize. If you use WP, it will reduce your webhost resource usage a bit.
Disadvantages:
Load cannot be cached, slowing down the website. If the optimization is not dark, the font will be jerky, causing discomfort to users.
Fonts are stored at the webhost
Advantages :
Cache is loaded faster than fonts using Google font. Easier and more optimal editing.
Disadvantages:
Consumes webhost resources.
Browser's default font
This is the best way to increase website loading speed if you are someone who does not require fonts.
Advantages of using browser default font:
- The fastest font, the one for which you never have to make a request.
- In the past, these were popular web-safe fonts like Arial, Verdana, and Georgia. The last font specified in the font stack is the default sans-serif or serif font.
- System-UI font is the best and is also easy to read on smartphone mobile screens.
These are the default font settings in web browsers like chrome, coc coc, filefox… Themes like the default Twenty-nineteen theme of WordPress or GeneratePress or Astra. They use the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) font stack coding trick.
To have the best loading speed, know how to accept it. Sacrifice fancy custom fonts and instead use system fonts that load instantly.
When you use the browser's default font, you don't need to worry about optimization, preconnect, preload, font-display: swap; Is it reasonable…
