Ensure text remains visible during webfont load. When optimizing your WordPress site for Google PageSpeed Insights you will probably come across this optimization suggestion if you use Google Fonts or any other type of Webfonts.

The language Google chooses to describe its optimization suggestions (or anything, really) can be confusing. That’s why I thought it’d be a good idea to zoom in on what it means to ensure that text remains visible during webfont load and how to fix it.
