<p>Embed Google Fonts tries to automatically replace registered Google Fonts from themes and plugins with local versions, directly loaded from your own server.</p>

<p><strong>Notes</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The first request might be very slow, as fonts are downloaded and cached the first time they are requested.</li>
<li>This doesn’t automatically replace all your Google fonts with local versions. If a plugin/theme doesn’t use WordPress wp_enqueue_style it probably won’t work.</li>
<li>Loaded fonts are not optimized, means, the whole font including all subsets is loaded</li>
<li>See FAQ for instructions to use locally hosted fonts directly and avoid using Heroku</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Thank you:</strong> Fonts are downloaded using: <a href="https://gwfh.mranftl.com/fonts" rel="nofollow ugc">https://gwfh.mranftl.com/fonts</a></p>

<p>Struggling with slow-loading Google Fonts or GDPR compliance issues? EasyFonts is your lightweight solution to <strong>host Google Fonts locally</strong> on your WordPress site. Automatically cache and serve fonts from your server, eliminating external calls to Google that can slow down your site and violate privacy laws like GDPR/DSGVO.</p>
<p>In 2022, a German court ruled that loading Google Fonts from Google’s servers violates GDPR by logging user IPs for analytics (more on <a href="https://wptavern.com/german-court-fines-website-owner-for-violating-the-gdpr-by-using-google-hosted-fonts" rel="nofollow ugc">WPTavern</a>). With EasyFonts, you avoid this entirely – fonts load from your domain, boosting speed and ensuring compliance.</p>
<p>EasyFonts scans your site, downloads used Google Fonts (and Bunny Fonts), and replaces external links. No coding needed! Improve page speed, reduce DNS requests, and enhance user experience.</p>
<h4>Why Choose EasyFonts for Local Google Fonts?</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>GDPR/DSGVO Compliant:</strong> No data sent to Google – keep user privacy intact.</li>
<li><strong>Faster Site Speed:</strong> Local hosting reduces latency and external dependencies.</li>
<li><strong>Easy Setup:</strong> Activate, configure in settings, and let it handle the rest.</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight & Efficient:</strong> Minimal impact on your site’s resources.</li>
<li><strong>Broad Compatibility:</strong> Works with most themes, page builders, and plugins.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>EasyFonts detects Google Fonts loaded via <link> and @import, or @font-face inside inline <style>.</li>

<li>Replaces external URLs with your site’s domain.</li>
<li>Optionally removes resource hints and WebFontLoader for cleaner, faster loads.</li>
</ol>
<p>Test your site before/after: Use browser dev tools (Network tab) to check for “fonts.googleapis.com” or “fonts.gstatic.com” requests – they should disappear!</p>
<p>Compatible with Elementor, WPBakery, Divi, WooCommerce, Smart Slider 3, Groovy Menu, and more. If you’re using Bunny Fonts, they’re supported too!</p>
