Optimize for performance with css safe web fonts. #60

Open ghost opened 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

If Vertcoin wants to reach a global audience and make a good first impression, it is very important to optimize the web-site for network and rendering performance.

One way to optimize the web-site for network and rendering performance is to replace the custom web-fonts with css safe web-fonts.

I propose to replace the external Google Source+Sans+Pro: 400, 300, 600, 400italic, 700; and commercial Gotham Book with Verdana and Geneva, sans-serif fallback fonts.

The visual impact will be negligible (if noticeable at all) but the performance gains could be significant for users on slower networks (behind a TOR proxy or a slow VPN, 3G networks) and user's that use low-end devices.
