Font weight loaded that is seemingly unused on the page – preload key request

Hi there,

I have recently been diving into optimizing my website as much as possible. As part of that endeavour I have found that my homepage fusico.digital has been loading Montserrat 400. By extension it also pops up in Pagespeed Insights as “preload key requests”. I don’t want to preload this font as it is seemingly not used on my page. I have gone through the fonts a few times without luck. I only use 2 fonts and they are only defined in the Kadence customizer. “Open Sans 400” for body text and “Montserrat 700” for titles. (on blog posts “Open Sans 700” is also used sometimes, but this is not on the home page.

Is there any way to prevent my page from loading this additional font weight – Montserrat 400?

ps. attached image is from GTMetrics, I intentionally did not preload the undesired font.

Cheers!
Kristof
