Descrizione

Leverage Browser Cache and Minimize DNS requests with OMGF (Optimize My Google Fonts, formerly known as CAOS for Webfonts).

OMGF is written with performance and user-friendliness in mind. It uses the Google Fonts Helper API to automagically download the fonts you want to WordPress’ contents folder and generate a stylesheet for it. The stylesheet is automatically included to your site’s header and 100% compatible with CSS and JS optimizing/minification plugins like Autoptimize or W3 Total Cache. OMGF can efficiently remove any requests to external Google Fonts (loaded from fonts.gstatic.com or fonts.googleapies.com).

That’s it. You’re done!

This will decrease your pageload times, leverage browser cache, minimize DNS requests and effectively bring you a perfect score on Pagespeed Insights and Pingdom, without taking toll on the performance of your webserver.

Features

Easily find and download your fonts in multiple subsets,
Generate a stylesheet, which is automatically added to your header using WordPress’ wp_head()-function,
Change the caching path (where the fonts and stylesheet are saved) for increased compatibility with Multisite environments and Caching- and Security-plugins, such as WP Super Cache, Autoptimize and WordFence,
Serve your fonts from your CDN,
Enable Typekit’s Web Font Loader to load your fonts asynchronously and further increase your Pagespeed Insights score (!),
Control font performance by adding font-display property,
Auto-generates the local source for webfonts,
Automatically remove any fonts loaded from fonts.gstatic.com or fonts.googleapis.com,
Prioritize fonts with rel=’preload’.

Please keep in mind that, although I try to make the configuration of this plugin as easy as possible, the concept of locally hosting a file or optimizing Google Fonts for Pagespeed Insights or GT Metrix has proven to be confusing for some people. If you’re not sure of what your doing, please consult a SEO expert or Webdeveloper to help you with the configuration and optimization of your WordPress blog. Or feel free to contact me for a quote.

Installazione

Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/host-webfonts-local directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
Use the Settings -> Optimize Webfonts screen to configure the plugin

FAQ

I don’t know what I’m doing! Can you help?

Of course 🙂 But first calm down and read this comprehensive guide on how to configure OMGF. If you have any questions afterwards, visit the Support Forum.

I have another file I want to host locally. Could you make a plugin?

Maintaining two plugins besides my daily 9-to-5 job is a handful, so no. If you’re looking for a way to host analytics.js locally; please install CAOS. For anything else, please follow the steps in this how-to.

How come my font isn’t available in OMGF?

This could be for several reasons:
1. Have you checked if your font is available on Google Fonts?
1. Is your font listed as an open source font, or is it a premium font? For obvious reasons, OMGF only has access to open source fonts.

Can I serve the fonts from my CDN?

Yes, you can. Enter the url of your CDN and re-download and re-generate the stylesheet. Then the fonts will be saved to and served from your CDN.

How can I make sure the fonts load asynchronously AKA non-render blocking?

Enable Typekit’s Web Font Loader in the settings and OMGF will take care of it for you!

I’m getting a ‘Load resources from a consistent URL’ after installing and configuring this plugin. What’s going on?

This must be, because you’re still loading the externally hosted Google Fonts, besides the fonts you downloaded using OMGF. Try checking the option ‘Remove Google Fonts’ and see if that helps. If it doesn’t consider using a child theme to ‘dequeue’ any external requests. If you don’t know how to do that, consider using a plugin such as Autoptimize to optimize your CSS and remove the fonts.

Does this plugin edit template files?

No, it does not. It creates a CSS Stylesheet which will be automatically added to your theme’s header using a built-in WordPress queueing system.

My fonts aren’t being downloaded! What’s going on?

First check your database if the table {prefix}_caos_webfonts exists. If it doesn’t, remove the caos_webfonts_db_version from the wp_options table and reload the page. The table should be created and the issue should be resolved.

If the issue still persists and you’re using any caching plugins, such as Autoptimize, W3TC or WP Super Cache? Empty their caches. After that empty your browser’s cache and reload the page. Try again.

The stylesheet isn’t loaded? What’s going on?

OMGF enqueues the stylesheet into WordPress’ head. If the stylesheet isn’t loaded, this probably means your theme isn’t implementing the wp_head() function into it’s header section.

Does this plugin support Multi Site? I’m getting CORS errors!

Yes, it does. When using subdomains, however, you might run into CORS related issues. To get around this, you should configure each site separately. Do the following:

Go to the site’s own dashboard,
Change OMGF’s cache directory (Save webfonts to…) to something unique, e.g. /cache/site1/omgf,
Click ‘Save Changes’,
If you haven’t already, find the fonts you want to use,
Click ‘Download Fonts’ and wait for the process to finish,
Click ‘Generate stylesheet’.

Repeat this for every site you want to use with OMGF. A new stylesheet, using the corresponding site’s Home-URL and cache directory for each font, has been generated. Bypassing any Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) issues you might run into.

A diferencia de otros plugins que limitan de forma automática tus opciones. Instalar tus Google Fonts (y este plugin lo facilita) y manejarlas a través de CSS es la forma profesional de hacerlo. Muy recomendable.
