# OMGF | GDPR Compliant, Faster Google Fonts. Easy.

OMGF automagically caches the Google Fonts used by your theme/plugins locally. No configuration (or brains) required!

## Description

> 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 Helper 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 **Manage Optimized 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 page loading times**!

### Other Features include

- **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,
- **Ensure text remains visible during webfont load** by forcing the *font-display* attribute to all your other fonts! (OMGF Pro required),
- **Reduce the filesize** of your fonts and stylesheets, by using the *Force subset* and *Include File Types* feature (OMGF Pro required),

### 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 e.g. your theme and/or plugins,
  - Web Font Loader (`webfont.js`),
  - Early Access Google Fonts.
  - Material Icons support.
- Modify your fonts' `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!
