Reduce unnecessary font overhead by choosing a restrained typography system, loading only what you use, and testing real pages.

Reduce unnecessary font overhead by choosing a restrained typography system, loading only what you use, and testing real pages.

Typography affects readability, visual hierarchy and performance. Build a small type scale, load only the font families and weights you need, and test line length on mobile and desktop. GP Premium currently includes a local font library among its listed capabilities.

Start with the job, not the product

List the layouts, templates, content types, integrations and editing responsibilities your site requires. Then decide which layer should own each responsibility: WordPress core, the theme, blocks, plugins or hosting.

Keep the stack understandable

Fewer overlapping tools usually make a WordPress site easier to maintain. Prefer a coherent system where global styles, templates and reusable components have clear ownership.

Where GeneratePress may fit

If a lightweight, block-oriented foundation suits your requirements, GeneratePress is one product worth evaluating alongside its competitors.
