Web Font Weight Variants
No detectable Google Fonts weights
REVIEW
No detectable Google Fonts weights
Info::
No detectable Google Fonts weights
The analyzer detects font weights via Google Fonts URL parameters (~70% of font-using sites). Self-hosted fonts and non-Google CDN fonts aren't visible to URL-based detection. If you self-host fonts, manually audit how many @font-face weights you ship -- 2-3 weights per family is typically enough; 5+ is usually unused payload.
