Self-Hosting Web Fonts

Why serving fonts from your own site can speed things up, and how to set it up.

Faster pages, fewer requests

Treat this as a starting point rather than a rulebook. Every site, brand and audience is different, so test ideas against your own content and adjust.

Small, consistent improvements beat big redesigns. Change one thing at a time, compare before and after, and keep notes on what actually made a difference.

Before you publish, check the page on a phone, run it past a fresh pair of eyes, and make sure it still reads well with images turned off.
