OMGF Pro v5.3.3 WordPress Plugin
OMGF Pro (Host Google Fonts Locally) helps you eliminate external Google Fonts requests by serving them directly from your own WordPress server, ensuring full GDPR compliance and improved performance. By preventing user IP addresses from being sent to Google, it addresses privacy concerns while also reducing DNS lookups and leveraging browser caching. The plugin automatically detects fonts used by your theme and plugins and replaces remote requests with optimized local copies.
Host Google Fonts Locally works in either Manual or Automatic mode, giving you control over how fonts are detected and optimized. In Automatic mode, it captures requests to Google’s font domains, downloads the required files, generates cross-browser compatible stylesheets (EOT, TTF, WOFF, WOFF2), and rewrites URLs to point to local versions. It also supports font preloading, CDN delivery, and advanced optimizations like combining and deduplicating stylesheets in the Pro version, helping reduce page size and loading time.

What’s New (Changelog) in OMGF Pro v5.3.3
= v5.3.3 =
* Fixed: after a theme (or plugin) stylesheet changed without WordPress' updater, e.g. when deploying with Git, SFTP or from a staging site, OMGF Pro kept serving its outdated cached copy. Cached copies are now refreshed when their source file is newer.
* Fixed: after updating a theme or plugin, local and external stylesheets OMGF Pro had cached (e.g. because they import Google Fonts) were served unprocessed until OMGF's cache was emptied, because OMGF removes their cached copies on update. They're processed again now.
* Improved: while Smart Optimize is paused because OMGF reports issues on the Dashboard (or found unprocessed Google Fonts), the Dashboard says so, instead of saying it's enabled.
* Fixed: Magic Fallbacks didn't add its fallbacks to fonts declared as CSS custom properties, e.g. block themes' font presets (Site Editor › Styles › Typography or theme.json).
* Fixed: Magic Fallbacks (or a Fallback Font Stack) could add its fallbacks to the font-family of an @font-face statement in the same stylesheet, instead of to the declaration using it (e.g. font-family: Manrope), which broke that @font-face statement.
* Improved: when OMGF Pro removes cached stylesheets (an outdated cached copy of a theme or plugin stylesheet, or Smart Optimize's stylesheets after changing Magic Fallbacks), it flushes the page caches OMGF supports, because cached pages still refer to them. Requires OMGF v6.3.14 or higher.
* Fixed: refreshing a page's Smart Optimize results (Admin Bar) also removed the Smart Optimize stylesheets it shared with other pages with the same unused fonts, so those pages loaded without their fonts while served from a page cache.
* Fixed: Apply Font-Display Option Globally (and Magic Fallbacks) also rewrote text on the page mentioning font-display (or font-family), e.g. "font-display: swap" in a post, removing everything after it up to the next ; or }. Inline styles are now processed inside style elements and style attributes only.
