OMGF | GDPR Compliant, Faster Google Fonts. Easy.

OMGF can be downloaded for free without any paid subscription from the official WordPress repository.

OMGF automagically caches the Google Fonts used by your theme/plugins locally. No configuration (or brains) required!

Description

How could using fonts via Google's service possibly run afoul of GDPR? The fact of the matter is that, when a font is requested by the user's browser, their IP is logged by Google and used for analytics. — Lifehacker

Leverage Browser Cache, reduce DNS lookups/requests, reduce Cumulative Layout Shift and make your Google Fonts 100% GDPR-compliant with OMGF!

OMGF is written with performance and user-friendliness in mind. It uses the Google Fonts API to automatically cache the fonts your theme and plugins use to minimize DNS requests and speed up your WordPress website.

How Does It Work?

After installing and configuring the plugin, OMGF will automatically start looking for Google Fonts whenever a page is requested on your website.

All Google Fonts are listed in the Optimize Local Fonts section of OMGF's settings screen. There, you can choose to:

• Preload fonts to reduce Cumulative Layout Shift above the fold,
• Unload fonts that're not used by you, your theme and/or plugins,
• Set a Fallback Font Stack (OMGF Pro required), to further reduce Cumulative Layout Shift, or
• Enable Magic Fallbacks (OMGF Pro required), to automatically generate mathematically tuned system font fallbacks that match your Google Fonts' exact proportions, eliminating layout shift while fonts load.
• Replace (OMGF Pro required) font-families with system fonts to speed up page loading times!

Other Features include

• The integrated Google Fonts checker sniffs through the network requests on your website on each pageload. If it still finds externally hosted Google Fonts after optimization, it will notify you and provide solutions where possible.
• Variable Fonts support,
• Automatically Remove unused subsets to reduce the size of the CSS stylesheet up to 90%!
• Remove Resource Hints (preload, preconnect, dns-prefetch) pointing to fonts.googleapis.com or fonts.gstatic.com,
• Ensure text remains visible during webfont load by forcing the font-display attribute to your Google Fonts,
• Ensure text remains visible during webfont load by forcing the font-display attribute to all your other fonts! ( OMGF Pro required),

Additional Features in OMGF Pro

• Run the Google Fonts checker in the frontend (for all users) to organically check for present external Google Fonts throughout your site.
• Smart Optimize automatically detects which fonts, subsets and weights are actually used on each page — preloading the ones that matter and removing the ones that don't, to eliminate render-blocking resources and reduce unused CSS.
• Magic Fallbacks generates mathematically tuned system font fallbacks that match your Google Fonts' exact proportions, eliminating layout shift while fonts load.
• Automatically configures itself to make sure all externally hosted Google Fonts on your site are hosted locally. OMGF Pro supports:
  • @font-face and @import statements inside inline <style> blocks,
  • @font-face and @import statements inside local stylesheets loaded by e.g. your theme and/or plugins,
  • @font-face and @import statements inside externally hosted stylesheets loaded by your theme and/or plugins,
  • Web Font Loader (webfont.js),
  • Async Google Fonts (loaded using JS)
  • Material Icons.
• Multisite and WPML support.
• Whitelabel stylesheets, which removes branding and comments from the stylesheets to further reduce the size.
• Modify your fonts' src: url() attribute to fully integrate with your configuration,
  • Use this to serve fonts and the stylesheets from your CDN, or
  • To serve fonts from an alternative path (e.g., when you're using Security through Obscurity plugins like WP Hide, etc.), or
  • Anything you like!
• Dev Mode, which allows you to easily migrate between Development, Staging/Testing, Acceptance and Production environments.
