Reviews

Great for self-hosting Google fonts

TomCobbley September 24, 2024

I must have installed 8 or 9 different plugins for hosting google fonts, but none of them worked with icon sets. This was the only plugin I found that would self-host the Google icon sets. It’s dead simple to use and setup too. Well done and keep up the good work!

Works great

I was struggling to find a lightweight local font plugin that works with Oxygen builder to replace a similar plugin on some sites that broke on update, this one works out of the box for me when ‘remove resource hints’ is enabled. Many thanks to the author!
