Fast Google Fonts with Cloudflare Workers
Nov 22, 2018Patrick Meenan

Summary
This post details the implementation of a Cloudflare Worker to optimize Google Fonts performance by embedding CSS and proxying font files. It demonstrates how to reduce round trips from 8 to 1 by serving fonts from the same domain as the HTML, leveraging Cloudflare's edge caching. The worker dynamically rewrites font URLs and processes HTML in streaming chunks, significantly improving page load times and visual rendering.
