To make the snippets easier to read, I’m going to replace all instances of https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:ital,wght@0,400;0,700;1,400;1,700 with $CSS. | |

- 1. Preemptively warm up the fonts’ origin. | |
- | |
- 2. Initiate a high-priority, asynchronous fetch for the CSS file. Works in | |
- most modern browsers. | |
- | |
- 3. Initiate a low-priority, asynchronous fetch that gets applied to the page | |
- only after it’s arrived. Works in all browsers with JavaScript enabled. | |
- | |
- 4. In the unlikely event that a visitor has intentionally disabled | |
- JavaScript, fall back to the original method. The good news is that, | |
- although this is a render-blocking request, it can still make use of the | |
- preconnect which makes it marginally faster than the default. | |
