To resolve the error of Google fonts still showing in PageSpeed Insights after removing them from the fonts tab in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Clear your browser cache: Sometimes, browsers cache the previously loaded resources, including fonts. Clearing your browser cache can help resolve the issue by ensuring that the latest version of your website, without the Google fonts, is loaded.

  2. Re-publish your site: After removing the Google fonts from the fonts tab in Webflow, make sure to re-publish your site. This will ensure that the changes you made in the Webflow editor are reflected in your live site.

  3. Check for inline styles or custom code: If you have added any custom code or inline styles using Webflow's custom code or custom attributes, make sure to check if the Google fonts are referenced anywhere. Sometimes, fonts can be added manually in the code, and these references may not be removed when you remove the fonts from the Webflow editor. Remove any references to the Google fonts from your custom code or inline styles.

  4. Use the Webflow Designer's font settings: Instead of removing the Google fonts directly from the fonts tab, you can try using Webflow's Designer settings to change the font for the specific elements on your page. This way, you can choose a different font that is not loaded from Google's servers, and it will not show up in PageSpeed Insights.

  5. Wait for PageSpeed Insights to refresh: PageSpeed Insights takes some time to refresh its cache and update the analysis of your website. After making the necessary changes in Webflow, give it some time and recheck your website on PageSpeed Insights. It might take a few hours or even a day for the updated version of your site to be analyzed.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error of Google fonts still showing in PageSpeed Insights after removing them from the fonts tab in Webflow. This will help improve your website's performance and overall PageSpeed Insights score.
