The entire source of improved loading time was font-related, and they never even asked themselves <i>why they were using custom fonts in the first place</i>? Even after quoting the fact that customers will leave a site that loads too slowly, their solution was not to remove the fonts but to add even more bytes to the downloaded HTML?
