preload font

hi

I order to improve my perf i decide to preload my font.

<link rel="preload" href="https://www.mydomain.com/font/specialelite.woff2" as="font" type="font/woff2" media="screen and (min-width: 624px)"

But in consol I got the following message

The resource https://www.mydomain.com/font/specialelite.woff2 was preloaded using link preload but not used within a few seconds from the window's load event. Please make sure it has an appropriate `as` value and it is preloaded intentionally.

But this font is used? So, is there anyone who can explain me my mistake?

Add the crossorigin attribute i.e.

Thanks for you help, but this doesn’t change anything and I’m not surprise as i load font from my own domain.

Do you have a link to the page in question?

This might be something you’ve already done, but try disabling the media query (to simplify testing as much as possible) and double check the font you’re loading is being downloaded by the current page in the network tab. Document/CSS parsers in browsers will speculate whether they should load a web font by examining the text content on a page and the styles applied to it.
