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

Notes
- The first request might be very slow, as fonts are downloaded and cached the first time they are requested.
- 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.
- Loaded fonts are not optimized, means, the whole font including all subsets is loaded
- See FAQ for instructions to use locally hosted fonts directly and avoid using Heroku
Thank you: Fonts are downloaded using: https://gwfh.mranftl.com/fonts

I have waited for something like this. Super easy to use and a great way to make your site EU GDPR compliant. Good work!

I tried some of these plugins because people try to make money from people using google fonts directly in Germany.
This one worked like a charm, I just had to get rid of one CSS-Import manually.
But there was one request to fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans I could not get rid of. It took me ages to realize, it was from the WordPress Admin Bar. So you need to check in a fresh brwoser-window, best a private one.
Thx to the people behind this plugin!
