OMGF | GDPR/DSGVO Compliant, Faster Google Fonts. Easy.

Description

OMGF can be downloaded for free without any paid subscription from the official WordPress repository.

How could using fonts via Google’s service possibly run afoul of GDPR? The fact of the matter is that, when a font is requested by the user’s browser, their IP is logged by Google and used for analytics.
— Lifehacker

Leverage Browser Cache, reduce DNS lookups/requests, reduce Cumulative Layout Shift and make your Google Fonts 100% GDPR compliant with OMGF!

OMGF is written with performance and user-friendliness in mind. It uses the Google Fonts API to automatically cache the fonts your theme and plugins use to minimize DNS requests and speed up your WordPress website.

How Does It Work?

After installing the plugin, OMGF will automatically start looking for Google Fonts whenever a page is requested on your website.

All Google Fonts are listed in the Optimize Local Fonts section of OMGF’s settings screen. There, you can choose to:

• Preload fonts to reduce Cumulative Layout Shift above the fold,
• Unload fonts that’re not used by you, your theme and/or plugins,
• Set a Fallback Font Stack (OMGF Pro required), to further reduce Cumulative Layout Shift, or
• Replace (OMGF Pro required) font-families with system fonts to speed up loading times!

Other Features include

• Variable Fonts support,
• Automatically Remove unused subsets to reduce the size of the CSS stylesheet with ~90%!
• Remove Resource Hints (preload, preconnect, dns-prefetch) pointing to fonts.googleapis.com or fonts.gstatic.com,
• Ensure text remains visible during webfont load by forcing the font-display attribute to your Google Fonts,

Additional Features in OMGF Pro

• Multisite support,
• “Dig deeper” to find Google Fonts and optimize further. OMGF Pro supports:
  • @font-face and @import statements inside inline <style> blocks,
  • @font-face and @import statements inside local stylesheets loaded by your theme and/or plugins,
  • @font-face and @import statements inside externally hosted stylesheets loaded by your theme and/or plugins,
  • Web Font Loader (webfont.js),
  • Early Access Google Fonts,
  • Material Icons.
• Ensure text remains visible during webfont load by adding the selected font-display attribute to all fonts on your website,
• Modify the stylesheet’s src: url() attribute to fully integrate with your configuration,
  • Use this to serve fonts and the stylesheets from your CDN, or
  • To serve fonts from an alternative path (e.g. when you’re using Security through Obscurity plugins like WP Hide, etc.), or
  • Set a relative path to easily migrate from development/staging areas to production/live, or
  • Anything you like!

Great Tool and absolut amazing support

Excellent,simple, useful with great support

Alexander Guskov July 25, 2024 2 replies

I downloaded this plugin quite long ago but was putting off to put it in until recently got down to the site speed optimization. Current HTTP/2.0 quite insensitive in how many files to transfer and the modern network allow to ignore extra MB to transfer but it’s still very sensitive to the process of site connection. So, when you site uses font directly from google it means that user browser have to set up one connection more to one site more. 1) In my experience, although I use just 1 google font, transferring it from my site (instead of google site as it’s goes in default) increased my site speed tests unexpectedly significantly. So, the plugin is very useful!2) It’s more simple than it looks from the first glance. The best strategy is just do nothing with it’s settings except to choose your language sebsets, although “Load Early” I would tick up in default. Actually I would redesigned the settings page to avoid the first glance confusion. But if to put up with it’s design you figure out that it’s very simple !3) Happily it works very fast and steadily.4) I figured out how to optimize using browser cache for fonts and what is necessary change in plugin. Author reacted and made this changes the same day! It’s really great!Many thanks, for your work, Daan!

Best Support, Best Plugin

Hi, i had some problems after installing OMGF Pro. But Daan supportet great and problem was solved although the problem wasn’t with his plugin at all

Great plugin and great support from Daan

Atipa Pluemchai February 24, 2024 1 reply

Depending on the theme used, Google Fonts are loaded from an external domain, which leads to longer loading times. Since I was overwhelmed with the variety of plugin settings, I asked Daan, if he could make me an offer for the optimal plugin settings. So that he could analyze the situation on our website, I opened an administrator account for Daan. Instead of making an offer, Daan has thankfully set the optimal plugin preload settings for us free of charge, which I would never have expected and just wrote “Enjoy!”. I would like to thank Daan for his great commitment to our website and can only recommend Daan’s OMGF and also the other plugin CAOS and of course the great support from Daan! Thank you again Daan for your great support! Atipa and Markus

A must

mrprainx February 16, 2024 1 reply

A must have plugin for GDPR compliant and faster website. I’ve also translated it in Italian for the fellow Italians of the WP Community. Thank you Daan for this great plugin!

• Fixed: Since Latin Extended is an addon for Latin, it shouldn’t be allowed to select it by itself in the Used Subset(s) option.
• Added: Compatibility fix for Logo Carousel (Pro), which (like Category Slider Pro for WooCommerce) adds a random unique identifier to Google Fonts stylesheets on each pageload. Why? Does it hate cache? :’-(

• Added: output_array() debug function to allow printing arrays in the debug log.
  • Fixes: Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers

5.3.1

• Fixed: Update notices should never be cached.

  • Added: full support for Variable Fonts
  • Fixed: Proper (WOFF2) compression, so files generated by OMGF are no longer bigger than files downloaded from the Google Fonts API.
  • Fixed: The (broken capital A) compression bug is fixed!
• Fixed: Changed logo in Help section to Daan.dev logo
• Fixed: Remove unused subsets from Optimized Fonts object to reduce db size

5.2.2 | June 28th, 2022

• Fixed: updated links from ffw.press to daan.dev after the migration.

5.2.1 | June 25th, 2022

• Fixed: shorthand syntax (r,i,b,bi) is now parsed correctly.
• Added: Basic Variable Fonts support (full support coming in 5.3.0!)
• Fixed: “preload” attributes added by 3rd party plugins would somehow be misunderstood as preload resource hints.
• Deprecated: Force Subsets (Pro) and Include File Types (Pro) are marked as deprecated in preparation for the upcoming release which includes full Variable Fonts support, rendering these options useless.

5.2.0 | June 14th, 2022

• Added: toggle to disable Elementor/Divi compatibility fixes.
• Fixed: when resource hints (e.g. preloads) were located in unusual places (e.g. Themify Builder places its preloads above the <title> element) this would cause other elements (e.g. stylesheets) to be removed as well.

5.1.4 | June 6th, 2022

• Tested with WP 6.0
• Fixed: Font-weights weren’t properly detected when stylesheets were loaded using Variable Fonts (CSS2) API.
• Fixed: jQuery.fn.submit() shorthand is deprecated.
• Fixed: Improved compatibility with servers using Nginx reverse proxy.
• Fixed: Filter duplicate font-family requests in same Google Fonts request, e.g. fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto|Roboto.
• Added: Workaround for Elementor to identify unique Google Fonts stylesheets, because Elementor always uses the (annoyingly generic) ‘google-fonts-1’ handle as an identifier. :-/
• Fixed: Generate a ‘unique’ identifier for each stylesheet without an identifier (‘id’ attribute)
• Several minor performance improvements.

5.1.3

• Added: workaround for Divi builder to identify unique Google Fonts stylesheets.
• Added: extra links to documentation in Optimize Local Fonts section.
• Fixed: Changed links to new documentation hub.
• Fixed: don’t use WP_Filesystem to get and put file contents.

5.1.2

• Fixed: Minor performance improvement – content_url() is no longer used to generate download file URLs.
• Rewrote Modify Source URL option’s description.

5.1.1

• Fixed: using print_r() in an output buffer caused 500 errors.
  • Removed the remaining (one) entries of OMGF::debug, because of this and Test Mode now allows for much user-friendly testing, anyway.
  • the OMGF::debug() wrapper is still there for hardcore in code debugging.
• Several code tweaks and fixes.

5.1.0

• Added: Test Mode, which allows you to test optimizations before releasing them to the public.
  This option replaces Optimize for Logged-in Administrators/Editors.
• Fixed: several minor tweaks.

5.0.6

• Added: Removed Cache Directory in favor of an automatic approach to improve UX, because most people didn’t change the default value anyway.
  • I.e. all files generated by OMGF are stored in a subdirectory of the Uploads folder (default wp-content/uploads), called omgf.
  • For most of you nothing will change, but omgf_upload_dir and omgf_upload_url filters are available for DEVs who want to modify the default value, although I really can’t think of a reason why you’d want to do that.
• Reworded description of Optimize for logged-in Administrators/Editors option.

5.0.5

• Added: Compatibility with Mesmerize Pro theme; this theme loads Google Fonts asynchronously, which causes CLS.
• Added: UNIX timestamp cached stylesheets to make sure browser cache of visitors is busted, upon cache refresh.
• Fixed: Running Save & Optimize a 2nd time could trigger some firewall rules, due to the serialized array being passed along with the settings form’s POST action. This serialized array is now stored in the form using base64_encode() and decoded before being saved to the database.
• Fixed: Since the Google Fonts API has removed the subsets paramater and returns all subsets by default, OMGF now does the same. Unlike the Google Fonts API, OMGF does still respect and apply the parameter if it set, because it is still used by many themes and plugins.
  • Re-worded Force Subsets (Pro) featured to clarify this behavior.
• Fixed: Some resource hints that were added using unconventional methods (i.e. not using wp_resource_hints()) weren’t removed.
• Fixed: If no regular Google Fonts stylesheets were present, the omgf_processed_html filter would never be triggered.
• Fixed: Stylesheets on AMP pages would be rewritten to local stylesheets, while this is not supported by AMP.
• Removed: AMP handling (Pro) option from Advanced Settings, because it’s no longer supported by AMP.

5.0.4

• Fixed: don’t allow starting buffer twice.

5.0.3

• Fixed: always run if omgf_optimize parameter is set.

5.0.2

• Fixed: Use Site Address (URL) to run first optimization scan, instead of WordPress Address (URL), because the WordPress install URL can differ from the frontend URL.
• Fixed: Make sure stylesheet URL is properly decoded and HTML entities, etc. are removed, before attempting to process it. (This would cause parameters, like subset or display, to get lost).
• Added: omgf_optimize_query_subset filter to OMGF_Optimize class.

5.0.1

• Fixed: Previous versions of OMGF would save stylesheet handles without the appended ‘-css’ string. This is now brought back to guarantee a smooth transition to v5.
• Fixed: If ?nomgf=1 parameter was set, preloads would still be loaded.
• Fixed: Added an extra check if file exists, before adding font files for preloading.
• Enhanced: A small speed boost for Save & Optimize.

5.0.0 – **The Better, Bigger, Faster, Stronger, Cooler, Awesomer Edition** | March 4th, 2022

• Added: Parse entire HTML document for Google Fonts stylesheets (instead of just wp_head())
• Added: Merged both Optimization Modes option into one automatically running option:
  – A first scan is done upon Save & Optimize,
  – A quick check is done on pageload, to see if other Google Fonts are found than the ones already found, and if so, they’re downloaded and replaced on-the-fly.
• Enhanced: The Download API is replaced for an easier, leaner and faster alternative and no longer uses the WordPress API.
  – If the first request fails, a mirror is used to retry the request, before throwing an error.
  – Fixes rest_no_route errors in some configurations.
• Enhanced: The Task Manager now offers a quick overview of downloaded stylesheets and their status, along with simple management tasks, e.g. cache flush, configure stylesheet and/or remove.
  – When cache is marked as stale, it’s now possible to refresh the cache and maintain your stylesheet configuration.
• Added: Resource hints enqueued in wp_resource_hints() are now properly removed.
• Fixed: Smart Slider 3 compatibility.
• Several bugfixes, UX improvements and code optimizations.

[ Changelog shortened … ]

4.0.0 | September 30th, 2020

• OMGF now runs fully automatic to replace/remove Google Fonts from your pages using OMGF’s new Download API. No initial configuration required!
  • This means that if you use different fonts on different pages, all of them will be cached and served locally.
• HUGE performance increase in OMGF’s automatic replacing/removing methods.
• Major overhaul of Settings Page:
  • Removed Extensions Tab
  • Some settings were moved to a new tab: Basic Settings.
  • Improved Welcome and Documentation tab.
  • Clarified option descriptions.
• Removed ‘Generate Stylesheet’ tab, which’ll be released in a separate add-on plugin soon.
• Removed ‘Use Web Font Loader?’ option, because it causes Cumulative Layout Shift and will not work with OMGF’s new Auto Replace feature.
• Removed ‘Remove Version Parameter’ option, because it has become obsolete. The new detection method uses the initial script’s version, if set.
• Font Preloading is temporarily removed and will be re-introduced (in a different form, along with new features) in a later release.
