How many font types can I use without affecting page loading?

I am currently using three different types of fonts from Google Fonts, but I am aware that the more different types you have, the slower it can get to load them. Can anyone give me advice on how many is the maximum?

If you do answer, please tell me how many fonts your project uses and if you have noticed any affect on load speeds.

Hi Ben,

If you use Google fonts, there is a indicator on the right of the screen with green, amber and red indicators that change as you add fonts. These indicators relate to loading times.

Hope this helps.

I was using it as my guide while picking fonts actually. I ensured I stayed in the green at all times, this should be problem-free once website is published?
