Overview

About this plugin

Most GDPR font plugins do one thing: download fonts once. GDPR Localizer goes further. It automatically detects when you update or switch your theme and alerts you instantly — so you always know when to refresh your font cache.

It also localizes Gravatars, eliminating the last hidden IP leak most plugins ignore. Set it once, stay in control.

Why choose GDPR Localizer?

” It doesn’t just download fonts; it monitors your site’s environment. If you update your theme version or switch to a new one, the plugin detects the change and prompts you to refresh the font cache to ensure your design stays perfect, fast, and compliant.

Key Features

  • Automatic Interception: Seamlessly handles fonts enqueued by themes and plugins.
  • Smart Theme Tracking: Detects theme updates and notifies you to manually refresh the font cache to prevent conflicts with caching plugins.
  • Privacy First: Stops user IP addresses from being shared with Google CDN.
  • Performance Boost: Serving fonts locally eliminates external DNS lookups and SSL handshakes.
  • Transparent Audit: An intuitive admin dashboard shows you exactly which fonts were captured and their source (e.g., astra-google-fonts ).
  • Clean UI: Interactive font logs with “Expand/Collapse” functionality to keep your settings page tidy.
  • Local Gravatars: Automatically downloads and serves user avatars from your server to prevent IP tracking by Gravatar.
  • Smart Onboarding & Preview: Professional dashboard with real-time detection logs and visual previews of localized fonts.
  • Deep Interception: Advanced support for Elementor and themes with complex CSS loading.
  • Privacy Hardening: Automatically strips redundant preconnect and dns-prefetch tags pointing to Google or Gravatar.

Deutsche Beschreibung (DSGVO)

Die meisten GDPR-Font-Plugins laden Schriftarten nur einmal herunter. GDPR Localizer geht weiter: Es erkennt automatisch, wenn Sie Ihr Theme aktualisieren oder wechseln, und benachrichtigt Sie sofort – so wissen Sie immer, wann Sie den Schrift-Cache erneuern müssen. Zudem lokalisiert es Gravatar-Avatare und schließt damit das letzte versteckte IP-Leck.

Einmal einrichten, volle Kontrolle behalten.

Hauptmerkmale:

* Automatische Erkennung: Verarbeitet nahtlos Schriften, die von Themes und Plugins in die Warteschlange gestellt werden.

* Smart Theme Tracking: Erkennt Theme-Updates und weist Sie darauf hin, den Schrift-Cache manuell zu aktualisieren, um Konflikte mit Caching-Plugins zu vermeiden.

* DSGVO-Konformität: Verhindert die Weitergabe von Nutzer-IP-Adressen an Google CDN.

* Performance-Schub: Lokales Laden von Schriften verbessert die Ladezeit durch Wegfall externer DNS-Abfragen.

* Transparentes Audit: Ein intuitives Dashboard zeigt genau an, welche Schriftarten erfasst wurden.

* Lokale Gravatare: Lädt Benutzer-Avatare automatisch herunter und stellt sie von Ihrem Server bereit, um IP-Tracking durch Gravatar zu verhindern.

* Intelligentes Onboarding & Vorschau: Professionelles Dashboard mit Echtzeit-Protokollen und visueller Vorschau lokalisierter Schriftarten.

* Tiefe Interzeption: Erweiterte Unterstützung für Elementor und Themes mit komplexem CSS-Laden.

* Privacy Hardening: Entfernt automatisch überflüssige Preconnect- und DNS-Prefetch-Tags zu Google- oder Gravatar-Servern.
