The below snippet shows how to load Google Fonts asynchronously. The main benefit of loading fonts asynchronously is that it speeds up the site extensively.
(function ($, window, undefined) { // Load Google Fonts Asynchronously with two sample fonts (Roboto Condensed and Lato) window.WebFontConfig = { google: {families: ['Roboto+Condensed:400,700:latin', 'Lato:400,700:latin']} }; (function () { var wf = document.createElement('script'); wf.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https' : 'http') + '://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/webfont/1.5.18/webfont.js'; wf.type = 'text/javascript'; wf.async = 'true'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(wf, s); })(); })(jQuery, window);
