A Node.js command line tool that statically analyzes HTML pages to generate optimal webfont subsets based on the characters actually used. It self-hosts Google Fonts, generates woff2/woff subsets, injects preload hints, and moves @font-face CSS off the critical path to speed up first meaningful paint.

Use cases

• subset webfonts to only the characters my page uses
• self-host Google Fonts instead of loading them from Google's CDN
• speed up page load by reducing font payload
• add preload hints for critical font files
• optimize variable fonts by reducing variation space
• optimize fonts in static site build artifacts before deployment

When to choose

• you deploy static sites and want faster font loading
• you use Google Fonts or local font files and want to self-host optimized subsets
• you want automated font subsetting integrated into a build pipeline

When to avoid

• your fonts are loaded dynamically at runtime by client-side JavaScript
• you need font services other than Google Fonts or local files
• you work in a non-Node.js toolchain with no CLI integration
