Google Fonts has made subtle but important design updates (see tweet). Compared with the last large-scale revision, this update focuses more on iterative improvements. Apart from the color changing from red to blue, the most notable change is the addition of a very cool checkbox: only variable fonts are displayed .
Using “Show variable fonts only” as the primary navigation option reflects Google Fonts’ strong commitment to variable fonts. Given that Google Fonts accounts for about 90% of the market share of managed web fonts and handles trillions of requests, this move is bound to significantly increase the attention and usage of variable fonts. Web designers and developers have been expecting variable fonts for a long time, and I bet we will see it gaining wider popularity this year in practical applications.
Some variable font inspiration inspired the creation of micro websites, such as v-fonts.com and Axis-Praxis. Now there is another one: variablefonts.io! Like other websites, it also provides interactive examples, but more importantly, it also provides the latest practical suggestions and resource links.
Another great thing Google Fonts has done recently is allowing the use of font-display
attribute. It has a nice default value (swap) and can be easily changed by querying parameters. Matt Hobbs recently published an article about its role, importance, and how to use it.
Speaking of Google Fonts, I stumbled upon the Snapfont browser extension the other day. This is a pay-as-you-can-eat program (I gave them $5).
It can directly replace all fonts on the website with the font of your choice, allowing you to have a quick experience. It has no other options, so it is not suitable for fine-tuning. To me the Title button doesn't even work. But I like it's simple and easy to use and can quickly experience the website effect after using new fonts.

CSS blocks page rendering because browsers view inline and external CSS as key resources by default, especially with imported stylesheets, header large amounts of inline CSS, and unoptimized media query styles. 1. Extract critical CSS and embed it into HTML; 2. Delay loading non-critical CSS through JavaScript; 3. Use media attributes to optimize loading such as print styles; 4. Compress and merge CSS to reduce requests. It is recommended to use tools to extract key CSS, combine rel="preload" asynchronous loading, and use media delayed loading reasonably to avoid excessive splitting and complex script control.

The scope of CSS custom properties depends on the context of their declaration, global variables are usually defined in :root, while local variables are defined within a specific selector for componentization and isolation of styles. For example, variables defined in the .card class are only available for elements that match the class and their children. Best practices include: 1. Use: root to define global variables such as topic color; 2. Define local variables inside the component to implement encapsulation; 3. Avoid repeatedly declaring the same variable; 4. Pay attention to the coverage problems that may be caused by selector specificity. Additionally, CSS variables are case sensitive and should be defined before use to avoid errors. If the variable is undefined or the reference fails, the fallback value or default value initial will be used. Debug can be done through the browser developer
