Font Optimization
Fonts affect both visual design and page performance. Next.js provides mechanisms for integrating fonts while reducing layout shifts and external runtime dependencies.
Use a consistent typography system rather than loading many font families and weights that are never used.
For performance-sensitive applications, measure the actual impact of font choices rather than assuming a particular font is faster.
Key Takeaways
- Load only the font weights you actually need.
- Avoid unnecessary external font requests.
- Typography should be evaluated as part of performance.
