Why this matters for the Core Web Vitals, and where to start fixing it
Every font face is a separate file, and most sites load one per weight and style. Three families with three weights each is nine downloads of render-path bytes. Text either waits for them or reflows as they land, one by one.
The audit is quick: which weights actually appear above the fold? A variable font collapses a whole family of weights into one file. A system font stack costs nothing at all.
