fonts.googleapis.com

Whenever I get web pages not loading or at best very slowly, I notice in the lower left corner that the holdup usually has to do with waiting for fonts.googleapis.com. It got so annoying this morning that I finally did a web search on it, and found this very helpful document:

http://www.webnots.com/fix-slow-page-lo ... eapis-com/

I tried switching to from Iceweasel to Chromium just now for the page that was not loading, and that connected instantly. Not sure how I am going to handle this problem in the future, but am glad to know what is going on and some of the possible solutions.

Jerry,

At the bottom of the page link, Sandra commented: "It was driving me crazy and now I got an idea of whats happening. Changed to static DNS and now the pages are loading super fast."

I looked in the manual (section 3.4), but can't find a reference performing this change. I also did a search, as I have seen this info posted several times over the years. Can you or someone with better skills than myself, point me in the correct direction for changing this in MX-14.4. I am wired connected in all my systems.
