Wordpress LScache Plugin: Self-Hosted Google Fonts doesnt work with Litespeed plugin
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Hello, My theme has self-hosted Google fonts. When I use LiteSpeed Cache, it doesnt pull up the self-hosted Google fonts. Instead it calls/dials them from Googles repository. That increases the page speed loading time. How can I make it to work with self-hosted Google fonts or disable it from caching fonts? Hi, Could you please provide the report number ? you can get it in toolbox -> report -> click send to LiteSpeed Best regards, Hello @CacheCrawler Heres the report number GYTVXCHY Hi, Please try disable CSS Combine External and Inline save and purge best regards, Thanks for your reply. Now its calling the self-hosted fonts alongside dialing them up from Googles repository. Hi, okay , please try disable all options in CSS optimizion , save and purge , see how it goes Best regards, If I disable CSS options it works great. No dialing up of Google fonts. However, now my CSS wont be optimized. Should I use it alongside other cache plugins? I have noticed that Autoptimize doesnt dial up the fonts from Google. It calls them from the theme. But now, Im not sure if the plugins will conflict each other if I use them both. Hi, okay , this indicates one of the options was causing it now please try enable them back one by one to locate which one was it Best regards, I have decided to add preloading for the fonts, which has greatly reduced the call up time and render blocking to 50ms< I think I can work with it as it is. Maybe it would be better if lscache can add an option to store all the google stuff locally and preload the used fonts on the related pages. @webhostercloud true. Litespeed Cache sends so many requests for Google fonts and the render blocking of the requests is so enormous. I can see debate about adding preload and caching local fonts dating back from 2018. I wonder whats taking them long to implement the feature.
