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

by Daan van den Bergh on WordPress.org

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

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

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.

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

Other Features include

  • 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),

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 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
