Wordpress LScache Plugin: Google Fonts async
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Just an idea ? right now theres a setting to load CSS asynchronously with exceptions possible with data-no-async=1. However, its problematic to pass such parameter when using commercial themes. It is also quite probable that either layout or advanced plugins will break (to a certain extent) with asynchronous CSS, which makes this an advanced optimization practice (async this, dont async that, manual work). However, one thing that could benefit greatly from async is Google Fonts. My suggestion is to add an option to just load Google Fonts CSS asynchronously (as a settings switch without any advanced details) and leave every other theme CSS intact. The idea is to make the caching plugin filter all Google Fonts requests and append async so that theme modification wont be necessary but loading speed will be greatly improved without the need to pass data-no-async=1 to all other CSS files. is there any reason that you want only google font async? Because they are loaded externally. Every other CSS loads from my domain and making it go async results in flash of unstyled content and sometimes even breaks the layout (BeTheme, Slider Revolution). I work a lot with some commercially available WordPress themes (like Avada, BeTheme, Swift Themes) and typically the only resource loaded from different domain is Google Fonts. Making it async would improve the loading speed without the need of doing too much tweaking (either make it go async or not). That makes sense. Will add in next release. Thanks. Awesome, thanks! You are most welcome. Then, in addition, you could add this in the head: Glad to know. Will add into the same option Load Google Fonts Async. Aha! Love to be heard
