OMGF | GDPR/DSGVO Compliant, Faster Google Fonts. Easy.

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

• 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
• Replace (OMGF Pro required) font-families with system fonts to speed up loading times!

• The integrated Google Fonts checker notifies you if a plugin or your theme has added Google Fonts (e.g. after an update) it can't process.
• 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),

• Run the Google Fonts checker in the frontend (for all users) to organically check for present external Google Fonts throughout your site.
• Smart Preload automatically configures which fonts should be preloaded i.e., loaded early to reduce Cumulative Layout Shift, Largest Contentful Paint and Ensure Text Remains Visible During Webfont 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!
• Developer Mode, which allows you to easily migrate between Development, Staging/Testing, Acceptance and Production environments.

1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/host-webfonts-local directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress
3. Use the Settings -> Optimize Google Fonts screen to configure the plugin
