Remove @import from css file?

[jf-home]

Hi,

I want to strip out an import statement in a CSS file at build time, can anyone offer advice as to how to go about that (or whether this could be incorporated as a future feature of purgecss)?

The full import statement is as follows:

@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700&display=swap);

The reason for wanting to remove the import is because it's not needed (in my case) and, as it's an externally-referenced file, it's hitting the page performance due to blocking page rendering.

Most grateful for any help or advice!

If you need to delete or comment on the file, you can access it later.
But if you need a file and don't want to use import, you can put the external file in the internal files.
