    Hi there,
    I have recentely changed the template of my blog and customized the font for the blog title. However, whenever I opened the blog the title remains in the original font for a couple of seconds before ¨settle in¨and show the one I chose.
    Does anybody know why?
    Thank you

    Hi there,

    This is normal, but you should only see it on slower internet connections.

    What you’re seeing is called a “Flash of unstyled text” (FOUT) in web design. What’s happening is that the custom font you set for your text is one of the last things to load when your site loads. To prevent site visitors on slower connections from having to look at a blank site while waiting for it to load, we still load the site with the default font initially, and then update it once the custom font you selected loads.

    It’s possible to block the default font from loading using custom CSS, but that requires our premium plan. On a free site like yours, there’s no way to prevent this from happening.
