Plugin / OMGF | Host Google Fonts Locally
Daan van den BerghDescription
Description
Leverage Browser Cache and Minimize DNS requests with OMGF (Optimize My Google Fonts, formerly known as CAOS for Webfonts).
OMGF is written with performance and user-friendliness in mind. It uses the Google Fonts Helper API to automagically download the fonts you want to WordPress’ contents folder and generate a stylesheet for it. The stylesheet is automatically included to your site’s header and 100% compatible with CSS and JS optimizing/minification plugins like Autoptimize or W3 Total Cache. OMGF can efficiently remove any requests to external Google Fonts (loaded from fonts.gstatic.com or fonts.googleapies.com).
That’s it. You’re done!
This will decrease your pageload times, leverage browser cache, minimize DNS requests and effectively bring you a perfect score on Pagespeed Insights and Pingdom, without taking toll on the performance of your webserver.
Features
- Easily find and download your fonts in multiple subsets,
- Generate a stylesheet, which is automatically added to your header using WordPress’ wp_head()-function,
- Change the caching path (where the fonts and stylesheet are saved) for increased compatibility with Multisite environments and Caching- and Security-plugins, such as WP Super Cache, Autoptimize and WordFence,
- Serve your fonts from your CDN,
- Enable Typekit’s Web Font Loader to load your fonts asynchronously and further increase your Pagespeed Insights score (!),
- Control font performance by adding font-display property,
- Auto-generates the local source for webfonts,
- Automatically remove any fonts loaded from fonts.gstatic.com or fonts.googleapis.com,
- Prioritize fonts with rel=’preload’.
Please keep in mind that, although I try to make the configuration of this plugin as easy as possible, the concept of locally hosting a file or optimizing Google Fonts for Pagespeed Insights or GT Metrix has proven to be confusing for some people. If you’re not sure of what your doing, please consult a SEO expert or Webdeveloper to help you with the configuration and optimization of your WordPress blog. Or feel free to contact me for a quote.
