Awesome! I dumped Disqus and Google Analytics earlier this year, too. I hadn't thought about Google Fonts, so I'll dump that soon, too.

Since you are using CloudFront, I highly recommend http://s3stat.com for analytics. It grabs CloudFront's (or S3's) server access logs and visualizes them.

For search, I like this method Mat Hayward uses for Jekyll: https://github.com/mathaywarduk/jekyll-search Dump the site contents out into a JSON file with the titles and links accessible, crawl through the JSON file with javascript whenever someone runs a search, then display the results. I know you use Hyde instead of Jekyll, but you can port over the general idea.

There's one small downside to using your own font. The Google Font is very likely already cached in the browser and won't need to load from anywhere remote.

An even better solution might be to just not specify a specific font unless you really, really need one.

Use a system font stack. Both macOS and Windows come with good font choices, and Linux … is Linux, more often than not, users are not even aware of typography or why it matters.
