“Google Fonts is not just a repository of hundreds of free fonts - it is also a clever delivery mechanism utilising many of the latest web performance techniques to try to deliver the most appropriate fonts, with the minimal effort to the website owner. In moving to self-hosting you ideally want to re-implement as many of those improvements like font-display: swap, subsetting, and removal of hinting (at least for some browsers), or you may actually negatively impact performance by having larger fonts files.”
