Google Fonts
A library of free, open-source web fonts hosted by Google with global CDN delivery for fast loading. Google Fonts simplifies typography with easy embedding and wide browser support. Framer integrates Google Fonts directly, making them available without additional configuration.
CDN
Performance
Content Delivery Network—a distributed network of servers that delivers web content from locations geographically closest to each visitor. CDNs dramatically reduce latency and load times for global audiences while providing redundancy if one server fails. Framer hosts all sites on a global CDN automatically, ensuring fast performance worldwide without additional configuration.
Font
Typography
A specific style and weight within a typeface family, like Inter Bold or Helvetica Light Italic. Choosing appropriate fonts affects readability, brand perception, and page performance. Framer provides access to Google Fonts and supports custom font uploads for complete typographic control.
Web Font
Typography
A font loaded from the web rather than installed locally, ensuring consistent typography for all visitors. Web fonts expand typographic options beyond system fonts but add loading time. Framer provides Google Fonts integration and supports custom font uploads for brand fonts.
Indexing
SEO
The process by which search engines add web pages to their database after crawling, making them available in search results. Well-structured sites with quality content get indexed more thoroughly. Monitor indexing status in Google Search Console to ensure pages are discoverable.
Typeface
Typography
A family of fonts sharing consistent design characteristics, such as Helvetica or Inter, containing multiple weights and styles. Choose typefaces that reflect brand personality while maintaining readability. Limit to 2-3 typefaces per project for cohesion.
Core Web Vitals
Performance
Core Web Vitals are a set of user-focused performance metrics used by Google to measure real page experience, including loading speed, responsiveness, and visual stability.
