What is causing OpenSans to still be loaded through GooglefontAPI on the Webflow website?

There are a few possible reasons why OpenSans is still being loaded through the Google Font API on a Webflow website:

  1. Inline styles or custom code: If you have added custom code to your website or used inline styles, it's possible that these styles are still referencing the OpenSans font from the Google Font API. Make sure to check your custom code and inline styles to see if any references to OpenSans are present.

  2. Typography settings: Webflow has a built-in typography system that allows you to specify font families for different elements on your website. If you have set OpenSans as the default or fallback font for any element in the typography settings, it will still be loaded through the Google Font API. Double-check your typography settings to ensure that OpenSans is not set as the default font.

  3. Embedded fonts: Webflow allows you to embed custom fonts directly into your website using the @font-face rule. If you have embedded OpenSans as a custom font using this method, it may still be loaded from the Google Font API. Check your embedded fonts to ensure that OpenSans is not included.

To fix the issue and prevent OpenSans from being loaded through the Google Font API, follow these steps:

  1. Remove any references to OpenSans in your custom code, inline styles, and typography settings.

  2. If you have embedded OpenSans as a custom font, remove it from the @font-face rule.

  3. Use the Designer or Style panel in Webflow to set the desired font family for each element on your website. Ensure that OpenSans is not set as the default or fallback font.

By following these steps, you should be able to eliminate the loading of OpenSans through the Google Font API on your Webflow website.
