Cloudflare fonts (Beta)
Want to make your website fly? Cloudflare Fonts is here to help! This nifty feature replaces fonts from Google with ones stored right on your own domain. This means faster loading times and better privacy for your visitors, all without you having to touch a single line of code.
Faster font loading
By serving fonts from your Cloudflare zone, you leverage their globally distributed network, reducing latency and speeding up font delivery. Every millisecond counts, and Cloudflare Fonts helps ensure your website feels snappy and responsive.
Improved user privacy
When you use Google Fonts, your users’ information (IP addresses, user agents) can be collected by Google. Cloudflare Fonts keeps data private by serving fonts from your own domain, minimizing the exposure of sensitive information.
