Plugin Description
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 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
- Variable Fonts support,
- Automatically Remove unused subsets to reduce the size of the CSS stylesheet with ~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,
Additional Features in OMGF Pro
- Multisite support,
- “Dig deeper” to find Google Fonts and optimize further. OMGF Pro supports:
@font-face and @import statements inside inline <style> blocks,@font-face and @import statements inside local stylesheets loaded by 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),
- Early Access Google Fonts,
- Material Icons.
- Ensure text remains visible during webfont load by adding the selected font-display attribute to all fonts on your website,
- Modify the stylesheet’s
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
- Set a relative path to easily migrate from development/staging areas to production/live, or
- Anything you like!

OMGF’s Optimize Fonts screen. These settings affect the downloaded files and generated stylesheet(s).
The task manager offers a quick overview of the currently detected stylesheets and their status (e.g. loaded, stale or missing) along with quick links to simple management tasks, e.g. Empty Cache and Configure/Remove.
After you’ve completed configuring OMGF, the Optimize Local Fonts section will allow you to tweak all of your Google Fonts stylesheets, by e.g. unloading unused fonts and/or preloading fonts above the fold.
OMGF Pro users can further tweak its level of detection under Detection Settings.
Advanced Settings. Change these to make OMGF work with your configuration (if needed). The default settings will suffice for most configurations.
