The theme is loading 30 something fonts on my site when I’m only using two. How can I turn these extra fonts off to help with my page load speed?

Hello,

Which exactly fonts do you want to off? As a rule, fonts which use in our theme do not have a great effect on the speed.
You may test your page with following tool: https://gtmetrix.com/ and follow their suggestions about speed optimization.

You can see in the page source that a number of the fonts are being loaded twice and there are fonts being loaded that I am not using. For example:
```
WebFontConfig = {
                    google: { families: [ 'Raleway:100,200,300,400,500,600,700,800,900:latin', 'Montserrat::latin', 'Montserrat:,300,400,700:latin', 'Open Sans:300,400,700,300italic:latin', 'Raleway:400,100,300,500,700,600,800,900,200:latin', 'Satisfy::latin', 'Montserrat:700,400:latin', 'Raleway:400,300:latin', 'Roboto:500,900:latin' ] }
        };
```
The only three fonts that I want to load are Montserrat, Raleway, and Hind. How can I accomplish this?

Hello,

When I disabled all 3rd-party plugins, your problem with fonts was solved http://prntscr.com/gzuexp
Now I’ve activated them back. You can deactivate plugins one by one to find the needed plugin.
