Use System Fonts First

Updated this week

FlyingPress improves perceived load speed by displaying system fonts immediately while custom fonts are still loading. This helps avoid blank or invisible text during the initial render.

How it works

  • The system font stack is applied temporarily before the custom font loads

  • Once the custom font is ready, the browser swaps it in

  • This minimizes the Flash of Invisible Text (FOIT) and improves user experience

Benefits

  • Ensures text is visible immediately

  • Reduces perceived load time

  • Improves Core Web Vitals like First Contentful Paint (FCP) and LCP

Notes

  • Works best for content-heavy sites using web fonts

  • Automatically applies a fallback font stack without affecting your existing design

  • No setup required - FlyingPress handles it during HTML processing
