Hi,

I am trying to squeeze as much performance out of a cheap VSP hosting as possible. To this end I'm using Google PageSpeed Insights to further optimize loading performance. I wrote a real simple directoryID to make sure content is cached for 1 week(s)

As a first phase i'm simply serving static HTML with CSS and images. Because i seek to use JavaScript only sparsely.

Now i noticed loading a Google font by means of a stylesheet causes a notable reduction in load times. For Mobile i'm at 1 second and for desktop at 0.7 seconds which meets my mark for such content. This from original load times of 1.6-2.3 seconds.

To this end i seek to load the below into every HTML page for a specific website/virtualhost, this as part of an inline <STYLE> declaration in the HTML header.

@font-face { font-family: 'Roboto Mono'; font-display: auto; src: url('fonts/robotmonoreg.woff2') format('woff2'); }

I thought to do this using the URLToolkit, but then again this does not seem to be the right way of doing so.

As i'm somewhat time restricted i hoped this can be answered in this forum.

Thank you for your consideration.

ps: I'm also looking for people who want to help design a Single Board Computer, i'm a fool with an idea but i have zero experience designing hardware from scratch. Help is welcome. https://github.com/commandline-be/sbcboards/wiki/Redoxo-:-redox-os-sbc (not necessarilty redox-os specific by the way)

This is the google pagespeed index i'm using, should this be of any use to anyone. https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcommandline.be%2F&tab=desktop

uhm, nobody cares for an ugly idea or the description is actually the solution ?

From my point of view, loading from the same server is faster, as the browser does not need to setup an extra connection.

well, to my amazement, according to Google insight, it is not. For some reason it takes an extraordinary amount of time (+200ms)

Though at this time the page starts to load at 0.3 seconds and completes at 0.8 seconds the time spent loading the fonts is +200ms at times.

I'm interested to learn if i can further improve on response times and font loading but thus far i'm kind of at the edge of what this VPS can do (ARM chip + 200 mbps + NAT + FW ) Since a single page takes <= 1000ms i'm happy as this was the design goal for static pages on this VPS.
