I looked at my blog in the network tab and I saw this:

The entire index page with css is smaller than the custom Inconsolata font I was enforcing on my website.

The index page is 24.01KB (11KB compressed) and the font is 31.7KB (31.15KB compressed). Total size is 55.71KB.

I relaised I should not override the font of my web site.
Because people may have configured the monospace and other fonts in their system or just in their browser and I should not interfere with their preferred style of text.

I do understand that font can be a part of visual language of the web site. I just decided to choose not to use custom fonts as part of my visual language.

I removed the custom font

That’s the only thing I needed to do, so, I stopped downloading Inconsolata and started to use monospace as font-family.

And here is what happened to the network traffic:

23.91KB total (10.95KB compressed). 2x improvement. Load time is halved as well!

It still looks great (even better?)

After

It even fits more posts on the screen now. I think it’s a good improvement.
