Overview

The WordPress plugin aims to enhance your website's GDPR compliance by allowing you to host Google Fonts directly on your own server. This is in response to a German court ruling in January 2022, which determined that using Google Fonts could violate Europe's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). By self-hosting the fonts, you reduce the reliance on Google's servers, thus potentially mitigating privacy concerns and legal risks associated with using externally hosted fonts.

Enhanced Security

  • Reduces exposure to third-party vulnerabilities
  • Minimizes the risk of external script injections
  • Improves overall site security by limiting external dependencies

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the Wordpress plugin for its simplicity and effectiveness in making a website GDPR-compliant by hosting Google Fonts locally, thus addressing privacy concerns. Many found it easy to install and use, with some mentioning that it worked out of the box without customization. It also saved considerable time and effort in managing fonts across multiple client websites. However, several users noted drawbacks: limited documentation on initial setup, compatibility issues with certain themes or other plugins, and the plugin being outdated. These issues led some to experience malfunctioning or incomplete font detection and replacement. Overall, the plugin gets praise for its core functionality but needs better support and updates.

I couldn’t find any documentations about what to do first with this plugin. Also I couldn’t find nothing on the Setting page. How do I make it work? Furthermore, it is outdated now.

I was very positively surprised by this plugin. It did – out of the box without any customization – the core tasks which is something other plugins want you to pay for. A client website was made compliant with the GDPR in just 5 minutes and even the client was surprised how easy it all was. Kudos to the developers for the ease of use; this is one impressive piece of software if you ask me. Please keep up the great work. 🙂
