Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Most modern websites and website themes use Google Fonts to make their website typeface nice to look at and read.

Some plugins even include Google Fonts to make their plugin fancy.

Unfortunately, all this adds up to a lot of different Google Fonts being requested for each webpage, making the website slower with a lower Google PageSpeed score.

Ultimately, it lowers your visitor’s experience and you could drop down in the search results.

Google already solved this problem on their servers by allowing you to ask for multiple fonts in a single request, but that doesn’t fix the problem on YOUR website.

Your website asks for all these different fonts in different requests because there hasn’t been a way to automatically find all these font requests and optimize them.

until now.

Finally there’s a way to do this automagically, and that’s where Google WebFont Optimizer helps your site.

Google WebFont Optimizer finds every Google Fonts request, bulks them all together so your website only asks Google once for the fonts, instead of multiple times.

This makes:

  • Your Website faster
  • Your visitors happier
  • Your Google PageSpeed score increase

You only have to install and activate the plugin, and the plugin takes care of everything else.

This plugin was created to make our client’s websites faster to load with a higher Google PageSpeed score, and now it’s yours – free!
