      Hi Wes,

      I am currently using the guru theme on dev site and for some reason a wrong font (I think lato) loads for a second before the font I am trying to implement (Proxima nova) loads.

      Do you know why this happening? I can’t find any other mention of a font on my css. Do you have any advice for me on how to take care of this?

      Thanks for a great Genesis child theme!

        That’s normal. It’s just the default font your browser/computer uses to display the text while it waits on the Font you have added to your CSS to load (Proxima).

        If you use any font that is Web Based/Hosted like Google Fonts, or Typekit etc, sometimes they take a sec to load since they’re hosted on their own separate servers.

        Web fonts have to load from the server just like everything else does, so if for any reason their servers are loading slowly, then the fonts will show up slowly as well. They usually load fast, I haven’t had any issues with them and I’ve been using them for years.

        The site looks good from my end. Everything is loading up pretty fast.
