      Nobody (correct me if I’m wrong) touched on the fact that it’s bottlenecking. Only its duration. The knock-on effects of slow CSS are far bigger than most developers realise.

      This makes sense. Font-awesome is actually the only easy one to self-host, so lets see what happens

      For Google Fonts, preloading the eventual woff file helps in most traces

      The filename changes all the time, so it’ll work for a few days and then you’re left preloading an unusable resource *and* normal-loading the correct ones :(

      Yeah. If you don't need font subsetting (and therefore don't need a dynamic font loader), using a statically hosted font with preload is the win.

      Self-hosted webfonts is cool. No webfonts at all is cooler.

      Sure, Helvetica with system-ui fallback and call it a day. But if you want webfonts, self host and preload. Or do the bonkers stuff @zachleat did for css-tricks

      Replying to @mikesherov @slightlylate and

      If you self-host fontawesome and sack off GFonts, your new problem is that (in Chrome) modulepreload jumps the queue, dispatches requests too early, and leaves critical CSS backed up behind it. Those critical stylesheets (256) are trapped behind a load of less critical JS (220)pic.twitter.com/LGOkSAkWBw

      You can use `importance=low` to put them after css, no?

      Not currently (no support). The issue is *inside* of Chrome, and hopefully being remedied. Chrome’s current flaws/behaviour mean (module)preload is almost an anti-pattern :(

      If those modules are critical-path for the content, I'm not sure it matters. Truth will be in the trace.

          tl;dr the longer we delay that CSS, the slower the whole app becomes.
