How to convert and optimize your OTF/TTF fonts to boost your PageSpeed score.

Fonts often represent 10% of a web page's weight. Switching to WOFF2 is the simplest solution to optimize this area. **Brotli Compression**: The WOFF2 format uses the Brotli algorithm, which compresses font data 30% better than the standard WOFF format. **Subsetting**: A font file often contains thousands of useless characters (Cyrillic alphabet, mathematical symbols). Our conversion tool allows keeping only basic Latin characters, dividing the file weight by 5. **Variable Fonts**: In 2026, favor variable fonts. Instead of having 5 files (Bold, Italic, Light...), a single file contains all axes, reducing your browser's HTTP requests.
