  Hello. When navigating between pages through the menu, a “page flash” is visible. Sometimes a white screen precedes the page. Other times, the page displays a different font and then changes to the correct one.

  Any help is appreciated.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  I was able to partially replicate the issues you describe. On my tests on your site, after selecting a link to a page, the text on the page appeared briefly in one font before changing to another font. Once, I noticed a flash of what seemed to be a different page before the correct page opened. I did not, in any test, see a “white screen” preceding the correct page.

  I’ll tag the topic for staff attention.

  Please have a look at this workaround:

  Thank you for your help. That workaround improves it. The fonts no longer flash. But the pages still flash instead of seamlessly transitioning. Is this unavoidable? But “unhiding” the spinner smooth the page transition?

  When you use custom fonts it’s either a slight blank flash or a slight default-fonts flash – there isn’t another workaround at the moment. Only folks on slower connections would normally perceive this.
