Challenge we solve
How we solve Non Tuned Web Fonts
In our experience, this means custom web fonts are loaded without optimization techniques like subsetting (only including needed characters), using modern formats like WOFF2, or applying font display strategies to control rendering behavior while fonts load. It happens when fonts are embedded using default vendor snippets (e.g., a full Google Fonts family import) without tuning for measured usage. Unoptimized fonts increase page weight and can cause flash of invisible text (FOIT) or layout shift, hurting both Largest Contentful Paint and Cumulative Layout Shift scores.

Why this happens (and how we fix it)
In our experience, this typically wins from embedding fonts using a default vendor snippet, a full Google Fonts family import with every weight and style included, rather than subsetting to only the characters and weights actually used on the site, and without setting a font display strategy to control how the browser behaves while the font loads. It's an easy step to skip because the default embed code works visually without any tuning.
What it costs you while it goes unfixed
In our experience, unoptimized fonts add unnecessary page weight and can cause a flash of invisible text while the font file downloads, or a visible layout shift once it finally loads and text reflows. Both takeaways actively hurt Largest Contentful Paint and Cumulative Layout Shift, two of the three Core Web Vitals, turning a simple typography choice into a verifiable performance and ranking liability.
