DeveloperAvoid GDPR fines and speed up your site. Automatically downloads Google Fonts to serve them locally with zero configuration.
Website owners are increasingly facing lawsuits and fines in Europe because their WordPress themes and page builders load Google Fonts directly from Google’s servers. Doing this leaks your visitors’ IP addresses to Google, which is a direct violation of GDPR privacy laws.
FontVault for GDPR solves this problem instantly.
Simply activate the plugin, and it will automatically scan your website, find any external Google Fonts, download them to your server, and rewrite your website’s HTML to serve them locally. Font files are cached after the first download — subsequent page loads serve fonts directly from your server with no external requests.
Your visitors stay private, your website stays legal, and you get complete peace of mind.
Why You Will Love This Plugin:
- Zero Configuration: Just activate it and you are protected. No complicated settings pages.
- Page Builder Compatible: Uses output buffering to catch fonts injected by Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Slider Revolution, and others — even fonts that bypass standard WordPress enqueue hooks.
- Blocks Preconnects: Automatically removes
<link rel="preconnect">tags to ensure zero communication with Google’s font servers from visitors’ browsers. - Speed Boost: Serving fonts locally (especially with a CDN) improves Core Web Vitals and PageSpeed Insights scores.
- woff2 Format: Downloads the highly compressed
.woff2font format for the best performance.

External Services
This plugin makes server-side requests to Google’s font services to download CSS and font files. These requests are made from your server only — not from your visitors’ browsers. No visitor IP addresses or personal data are transmitted to Google.
Google Fonts API (fonts.googleapis.com)
Used once per unique font URL to download the Google Fonts CSS stylesheet (font-family declarations and @font-face rules). The CSS is then cached locally. No visitor data is sent.
Google Fonts Static Hosting (fonts.gstatic.com)
Used once per font file to download the actual .woff2 font files referenced in the CSS. Files are saved to your server’s uploads directory. No visitor data is sent.
After the initial download and caching, this plugin makes no further external requests for those fonts.
