Google fonts cause the WordPress background to load too slowly, and the WordPress 4.6 management background will abandon Google fonts

Since most of Google’s servers have withdrawn from mainland China, programs or templates that load Google fonts have been very slow to load, seriously affecting access speeds. During this period, experts have released various solutions, including removing the WordPress background Google Font loading plugins and more. I recently learned from wordpress that the management backend of WordPress 4.6 will abandon the currently used Google Open Sans font and will replace it with the system font on the user's own computer. This is really good news for WordPress Chinese users who are worried about Google fonts affecting website speed.

Now, the WordPress admin no longer needs to load online fonts from Google servers. For WordPress users, the most intuitive experience is that WordPress will be faster.

This is undoubtedly of greater significance to WordPress users in China. Since the Google online font service website is often inaccessible in mainland China, many users have to use mirror services such as 360/Baidu/Duoshuo in mainland China instead. However, these mirror services are not very stable. Therefore, many users have to look for plugins to disable Google Fonts.

Ditching Google Fonts is part of WordPress’ Font Natively project; the project is led by WordPress designers Matt Miklic, Mark Uraine, and Helen Hou-Sandí.

WordPress hopes to get rid of dependence on third-party services as much as possible and provide every user with the most user-friendly experience. This issue was raised at the beginning of the development of WordPress 4.6. I hope everyone can test it on different platforms as much as possible. WordPress will find system fonts on each platform that are close to the original Google fonts and replace them.

Although upgrading to the latest version now can get rid of the problems caused by Google font loading, the blogger here does not recommend that everyone upgrade immediately, because there are some problems reported from some upgraded users, especially when using some older ones. Template theme users, after all, the old template themes were made according to the WordPress version at that time, and there are more or less compatibility issues; for other users who use commercial themes, it is best to ask the theme template maker whether they support the latest version. No matter what your purpose is for upgrading, please pack and back up all your data before upgrading, just in case.
