Do you work with GIT repositories and develop WordPress websites locally? Have you found it time consuming and difficult to develop locally on a large WordPress website that has thousands of images? Does your development site get out of date within months due to active content management on the live site?
Activate this plugin on your local or development environment, and any linked images in the database content (wp-content/uploads folder) will be pulled from the live site URL.

Coral – Remote Images

Save space and download time!  Leave your uploaded images where they're at, in /wp-content, during development on your local.

EasyFonts is the lightest, fastest WordPress plugin to host Google Fonts locally on your own server. Just activate the plugin, and your Google Fonts are automatically downloaded, cached, and served directly from your domain. No manual uploads, no complex settings, and no external requests.
At only 35KB, EasyFonts is built for absolute performance. Unlike bloated alternatives that take up 2MB of space and require endless configuration, EasyFonts does one job perfectly: it disables external Google Fonts and self-hosts them so your site loads faster, passes Core Web Vitals, and stays strictly compliant with European privacy laws.
<h4>Why Host Google Fonts Locally?</h4>
When your WordPress site loads fonts from Google’s servers, you face two massive issues:
<ol>
<li>GDPR (DSGVO) Violations: A German court ruled that sending visitor IP addresses to Google without consent violates GDPR. Sites are actively being fined for this.</li>
<li>Slow Core Web Vitals: Every external connection to <code>fonts.googleapis.com</code> and <code>fonts.gstatic.com</code> adds latency, destroying your Time to First Byte (TTFB) and Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) scores.</li>
</ol>
EasyFonts eliminates both problems instantly. It rewrites your CSS to serve fonts locally—stopping Google from tracking your users and drastically speeding up your site.
<h4>Key Features & Performance Benefits</h4>
<ul>
<li>Modern Variable Font Support (NEW) — Unlike older plugins that download 10+ separate font files for different weights, EasyFonts uses modern browser detection to download a single, highly-optimized Variable Font file. This saves massive amounts of bandwidth.</li>
<li>Combine Font Stylesheets — Merges all locally hosted font CSS into a single, optimized file placed right after <code><body></code>. Exact duplicate font faces are automatically removed to reduce HTTP requests.</li>
<li>Fix FOIT with Font Display Control — Force a <code>font-display: swap</code> value on every <code>@font-face</code> declaration to eliminate the “Flash of Invisible Text” and pass Google Lighthouse audits.</li>
<li>Disable Google Fonts — Completely severs all connections to Google’s servers, ensuring 100% GDPR compliance.</li>
<li>Automatic Local Hosting — Detects Google Fonts loaded via <code><link></code> stylesheets, <code>@import</code> rules, and inline <code>@font-face</code> declarations.</li>
<li>Clean Resource Hints — Strips unnecessary <code>preconnect</code>, <code>dns-prefetch</code>, and <code>preload</code> tags pointing to external font servers to clean up your <code><head></code>.</li>
<li>Bunny Fonts Support — Also processes and locally hosts fonts from <code>fonts.bunny.net</code>.</li>
<li>Auto Cache Clear — Whenever you save settings, the font cache is instantly cleared and regenerated fresh to prevent broken layouts.</li>
<li>Page Builder Compatible — Works flawlessly with Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, GeneratePress, Astra, Kadence, and WooCommerce.</li>
</ul>
<h4>What Makes EasyFonts Beat the Competition?</h4>
<ul>
<li>35KB Size: Competitors weigh between 500KB and 2MB. EasyFonts is 60x smaller.</li>
<li>Zero Database Bloat: Stores only one single option row. No custom tables, no transient spam.</li>
<li>Zero Config Required: Just enable and save. No scanning, no waiting, no manual font selection.</li>
<li>No Premium Upsells: Every pro-level feature (combining CSS, variable fonts, font-display control, deduplication) is 100% free. </li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate EasyFonts.</li>
<li>Go to Settings → Easy Fonts.</li>
<li>Enable the options you need (most users: enable all checkboxes and set Font Display to <code>swap</code>).</li>
<li>Click Save Changes — the cache clears automatically.</li>
<li>Visit your homepage (or click Preload Fonts) — fonts are downloaded and cached.</li>
<li>Done. All Google Fonts are now served from your domain.</li>
</ol>
