Google Font : Increase your Google's Page Speed Insight score

readme.md

In case you use a Google Font like Raleway, Google will suggest you to insert following code in your css :

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Raleway:400,800');

Just don't.

This url returns :

/* latin-ext */
@font-face {
  font-family: 'Raleway';
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: 400;
  src: local('Raleway'), local('Raleway-Regular'), url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/raleway/v11/yQiAaD56cjx1AooMTSghGfY6323mHUZFJMgTvxaG2iE.woff2) format('woff2');

}
/* latin */
@font-face {
  font-family: 'Raleway';

  font-weight: 400;

}
/* latin */
@font-face {
  font-family: 'Raleway';
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: 800;
  src: local('Raleway ExtraBold'), local('Raleway-ExtraBold'), url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/raleway/v11/1ImRNPx4870-D9a1EBUdPPk_vArhqVIZ0nv9q090hN8.woff2) format('woff2');

}

Just keep Latin language : remove Latin Extended (only if not relevant !).

Download respective woff2 font files and put them in a folder as /assets/fonts/

Replace url of these files in your css :

@font-face
  font-family: 'Raleway'
  font-style: normal
  font-weight: 400
  src: local('Raleway'), local('Raleway-Regular'), url(../fonts/Raleway/Raleway-Regular.woff2) format('woff2')
  unicode-range: U+0000-00FF, U+0131, U+0152-0153, U+02C6, U+02DA, U+02DC, U+2000-206F, U+2074, U+20AC, U+2212, U+2215

@font-face
  font-family: 'Raleway'
  font-style: normal
  font-weight: 800
  src: local('Raleway ExtraBold'), local('Raleway-ExtraBold'), url(../fonts/Raleway/Raleway-ExtraBold.woff2) format('woff2')
  unicode-range: U+0000-00FF, U+0131, U+0152-0153, U+02C6, U+02DA, U+02DC, U+2000-206F, U+2074, U+20AC, U+2212, U+2215
