    Am interested in speeding up my site, http://www.coolnameideas.com/

    Have Adsense running so the rest of the site has to be super fast.

    Is there a way to replace all Google fonts in a theme with common system fonts.

    Also any other genesis specific speed suggestions would be great.

    Remove the line in functions.php that loads the Google font for your theme. Scan through style.css for every instance of font-family and remove the Google font name.

    You can also load Google fonts locally rather that loading them from the web. https://victorfont.com/use-google-fonts-locally/
