Use when auditing slow page loads, heavy assets, or rendering delays related to Optimize web font loading. Verify the actual bottleneck in DevTools, Lighthouse, or field data before recommending changes.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Optimize web font loading Slow font loading can cause 'Flash of Invisible Text' (FOIT) or significant layout shifts, negatively impacting both user experience and Core Web Vitals. ## Quick Reference - Use `font-display: swap` to prevent invisible text during load - Preload critical fonts to discover them earlier - Use modern formats like WOFF2 for better compression ## Check Check font loading strategies and verify that `font-display` is used and critical fonts are preloaded. ## Fix Add `font-display: swap` to `@font-face` declarations and use `<link rel='preload'>` for the most important fonts. ## Explain Explain how font loading affects perceived performance and layout stability. ## Code Review Review the routes, assets, and loading behavior that affect Optimize web font loading. Flag exact files, requests, or rendering steps that add unnecessary network, CPU, or layout cost, and describe the measurement method used to confirm the issue. --- For full implementation details, code examples, and framework-specific guidance, see `references/rule.md`.

How to install
mdr add thedaviddias/front-end-checklist/font-loading@sha256:fcb5ad3d8ebd9524The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.4b0ddb9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
