Font Loading Causing Layout Shift - FOUT or FOIT
Fonts load slowly causing text to flash or shift layout (Cumulative Layout Shift). Users see unstyled text briefly before custom font loads.
This impacts Core Web Vitals and user experience.
Error Messages You Might See
Cumulative Layout Shift > 0.25
Font blocking render for 3+ seconds
Text remains invisible while custom font loads
FOUT/FOIT causing layout thrashing
Common Causes
- Loading fonts from CDN without preload
- Large font files not optimized or subsetted
- Font-display not set to optimal value
- Loading too many font variations
- Self-hosted fonts not configured for preload
How to Fix It
Add preload to head:
Use font-display: swap in @font-face to prevent invisible text
Subset fonts: include only characters you use
Use Next.js font optimization: import { Poppins } from 'next/font/google'
Limit to 2-3 font families max

Jacek Rozanski
Senior PHP/Symfony developer and DevOps engineer with 20+ years of professional experience, running opcode.pl (web development agency, est. 2004).
Day job: I'm the sole backend developer at merketing company where I own and maintain 11 PHP/Symfony microservices on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront), handle the full CI/CD pipeline (Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker), and manage monitoring with Sentry and CloudWatch. These services handle high request volumes in production every month.
What I bring to AI-built apps:
- I audit and fix security issues (OWASP methodology), performance bottlenecks, and architectural problems in codebases generated by Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and v0
- I refactor AI-generated prototypes into production-grade applications with proper error handling, testing, and clean architecture (SOLID, DDD, hexagonal architecture)
- I set up the infrastructure AI tools don't touch: AWS hosting, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, database optimization, monitoring, and alerting
- I integrate external services: payment providers, email systems, partner APIs, SSO/auth
Tech stack: PHP 8.x, Symfony, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, CloudFront), Terraform, Supabase. I also use AI tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor) in my own workflow, so I understand both the strengths and the gaps in AI-generated code.
Based in Poland (CET timezone). Available for async work and calls during EU/US business hours.

You don't need to be technical. Just describe what's wrong and a verified developer will handle the rest.
Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
What's the best font-display value?
swap: shows system font immediately, updates when custom loads (best UX). fallback: wait 100ms then show system
Should I self-host or use CDN?
Self-host for control and speed. CDN (Google Fonts) if you want simplicity
How do I minimize font downloads?
Subset fonts to used characters, use variable fonts for multiple weights, limit to necessary fonts
