Cloudflare Fonts (preload)

Hello,

it seems my website is pre-loading fonts even thought they are not used. This is based on Developer Console which throws multiple warnings.

I wonder if this is related to Cloudflare Fonts – Can I find more information how Cloudflare detects and preloads these fonts?
My hunch was that it looks at names and matches those with fonts. We use some font icons, but they are actually loaded in our own icon set to combine multiple icon sets without having to load all of them.

Could it be that this confused Cloudflare Fonts?

Hi there,

Cloudflare Fonts works by rewriting your webpage’s HTML . It removes Google Fonts links and replaces them with inline CSS. This CSS includes links to fonts from your own Cloudflare zone rather than from Google servers.

To avoid accidentally matching Cloudflare’s font list, you should verify your CSS files to ensure that only the fonts you need are declared, and use specific font names.

The message I am getting is below. Which is weird since I have activated Cloudflare Fonts, but it still seems to (incorrectly) preloading a googleapis font? Am I correct to assume this is not something Cloudflare causes, but perhaps a performance plugin?

The resource https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat%3A400%2C700|Open%20Sans%3A400%2C400italic&subset=latin&display=swap was preloaded using link preload but not used within a few seconds from the window’s load event. Please make sure it has an appropriate as value and it is preloaded intentionally.
