Great!

I noticed a few more issues with the fonts. 🙈
- there's no subsetting
- they are preloaded without crossorigin attribute, which causes double-downloading (see https://github.com/w3c/preload/issues/32)
- the Italic font is probably not used often enough to justify a preload

Ah, just saw that you already mentioned the crossorigin issue in your skeet.

What I just realised:
On EVERY refresh the fonts are downloaded twice and not served from cache!

The alternating CO/non-CO requests seem to be messing with the files' caches, at least in all Chromium browsers I tested. In fact, this behaviour is the only reason I HEARD it.

I would have expected that each CO/non-CO request gets its own cache entry, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

Can you confirm the behaviour?

Needless to say as well: the gobs of JS also bog down the main thread and make interactions laggy.

I’m not on the ol’ personal computer right now, but judging from these WebPageTest repeat view runs, it looks like the fonts are not being loaded from cache. https://www.webpagetest.org/result/241206_AiDc42_9Y8/1/details/cached/#waterfall_view_step1

Thanks for checking.
