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

Notes
<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>
Thank you: Fonts are downloaded using: <a href="https://gwfh.mranftl.com/fonts" rel="nofollow ugc">https://gwfh.mranftl.com/fonts</a>

Website owners are increasingly facing lawsuits and fines in Europe because their WordPress themes and page builders load Google Fonts directly from Google’s servers. Doing this leaks your visitors’ IP addresses to Google, which is a direct violation of GDPR privacy laws.
FontVault for GDPR solves this problem instantly.
Simply activate the plugin, and it will automatically scan your website, find any external Google Fonts, download them to your server, and rewrite your website’s HTML to serve them locally. Font files are cached after the first download — subsequent page loads serve fonts directly from your server with no external requests.
Your visitors stay private, your website stays legal, and you get complete peace of mind.
<h3>Why You Will Love This Plugin:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Zero Configuration: Just activate it and you are protected. No complicated settings pages.</li>
<li>Page Builder Compatible: Uses output buffering to catch fonts injected by Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Slider Revolution, and others — even fonts that bypass standard WordPress enqueue hooks.</li>
<li>Blocks Preconnects: Automatically removes <code><link rel="preconnect"></code> tags to ensure zero communication with Google’s font servers from visitors’ browsers.</li>
<li>Speed Boost: Serving fonts locally (especially with a CDN) improves Core Web Vitals and PageSpeed Insights scores.</li>
<li>woff2 Format: Downloads the highly compressed <code>.woff2</code> font format for the best performance.</li>
</ul>

<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin makes server-side requests to Google’s font services to download CSS and font files. These requests are made from your server only — not from your visitors’ browsers. No visitor IP addresses or personal data are transmitted to Google.
Google Fonts API (<code>fonts.googleapis.com</code>) 
Used once per unique font URL to download the Google Fonts CSS stylesheet (font-family declarations and @font-face rules). The CSS is then cached locally. No visitor data is sent.
<ul>
<li><a href="https://policies.google.com/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Terms of Service</a></li>
<li><a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
Google Fonts Static Hosting (<code>fonts.gstatic.com</code>) 
Used once per font file to download the actual <code>.woff2</code> font files referenced in the CSS. Files are saved to your server’s uploads directory. No visitor data is sent.
<ul>
<li><a href="https://policies.google.com/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Terms of Service</a></li>
<li><a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
After the initial download and caching, this plugin makes no further external requests for those fonts.
