I have a site that's taking a really long time to load its font-face kit styles, as well as a couple of other scripts that are running funny. This is happening because my scripts are all jumbled in my section, but I'm afraid that I don't know enough about these scripts to clean up my files correctly. Can anyone take a stab at suggesting some things I could do to clean this up and improve the speed and functionality of my site, particularly with loading the font-face text more quickly? Any examples or specific references would be great - I'm pretty lost on what all exactly is going on with these scripts. Here's what's happening in my :
<head>

UPDATED CODE I compiled all of my scripts into one 'compiled.js' file and changed all @import calls to s, however it is still not making my fonts load any faster. Here is the new section:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=0.3">
<meta name="google-translate-customization" content="d378d0a5e57245bf-c2ed76fd752675aa-g7014305900f205ae-13"></meta>

<!--[if lt IE 9]><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/ie.css" media="screen"/><![endif]-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/common/js/compiled.js"></script>
</head>
After optimizing my scripts, everything was running a bit faster, but not perfectly. As an experiment, in my main CSS file, I deleted the call for all of the @font-faces (there were about 10 of them).
I deleted these:
@font-face {
font-family: 'TradeGothicLTStdCnNo.18Ob';
src: url('../fonts/tradegothicltstd-cn18obl-webfont.eot');
src: url('../fonts/tradegothicltstd-cn18obl-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../fonts/tradegothicltstd-cn18obl-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/tradegothicltstd-cn18obl-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fonts/tradegothicltstd-cn18obl-webfont.svg#TradeGothicLTStdCnNo.18Ob') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
But am still calling this font css in my header
<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='/font_face/stylesheet.css'>
After doing that, everything is running smoothly, quickly, and across multiple browswers. Looks like @font-face was the real issue here. I still have my fonts being pulled through java script, so I have all of my custom fonts with no lag.
