How to fix Ensure text remains visible during webfont load

Question

Hi I'm facing this problem in google pagespeed I almost get my site speed to 100 the only thing remaining is Ensure text remains visible during webfont load

I'm already using font-display:swap; so why is this not fixing my problem.

here's my external font css

@font-face {
    font-display: swap;
      font-family: 'Miriam Libre';
      font-style: normal;
      font-weight: 400;
      src: local('Miriam Libre Regular'), local('MiriamLibre-Regular'), url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/miriamlibre/v5/DdTh798HsHwubBAqfkcBTL_fZ5P7.ttf) format('truetype');
    }
    @font-face {
    font-display: swap;
      font-family: 'Miriam Libre';
      font-style: normal;
      font-weight: 700;
      src: local('Miriam Libre Bold'), local('MiriamLibre-Bold'), url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/miriamlibre/v5/DdT-798HsHwubBAqfkcBTL_X3LbrQsq_.ttf) format('truetype');
    }

I generated this css using this commands

npx local-webfont https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Miriam+Libre:400,700 /Users/admin/Documents/projects/font.css fallback

which I got from https://github.com/swissspidy/local-webfont

Answer 1

You are using google fonts. Its better to add &display=swap to fix the issue.

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Miriam+Libre:400,700&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

Answer 2

This property

font-display: swap;

saved my life. Full example is as following:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Pacifico';
  font-display: swap;
}

And if you're using google fonts then use &display=swap at the end of href url, as following:

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,700&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
