## Beschreibung

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!

If you want to discover more about how you can make your WordPress website faster,
go to [the Quick Falcon website](http://quickfalcon.com/).

The plugin works best with W3 Total Cache

You can find the source code on GitHub – https://github.com/sigginet/google-webfont-
optimizer

  Installation Instructions

  Does this plugin make my website faster?

If your website uses Google Fonts, yes.

  How can I find out if I’m using Google Fonts?

Go to http://builtwith.com/ and type in your website URL.

Once builtwith finishes analyzing your website, go all the way down to „Widgets“(
around the center of page) and see if Google Fonts API is listed.
 If Google Fonts
API is listed, your website uses Google Fonts and you should use this plugin.

  What’s the difference between „HTML links in the header (no FOUT)“ and „Javascript
Web Font Loader (higher PageSpeed Score)“?

„HTML links in the header (no FOUT)“ adds a render-blocking stylesheet link in your
header. This can lower your Google PageSpeed Score, but removes all Flash-Of-Unstylized-
Text (FOUT).

„Javascript Web Font Loader (higher PageSpeed Score)“ uses a non render blocking
Javascript code to load the Google Fonts. This makes your website display faster,
but you may see some FOUT in the first milliseconds when you go between pages on
your website. – This is the recommended option

made my website slower, not faster. didn’t strip out font styles not actually used
on the site and duplicated font styles multiple times in request.

First I thought that plugin did not work and deleted it. Then Inspector showed me
that my site is really goes to google fonts and I need the plugin. I installed it
again and started to fine tune my other plugins. Fast Velocity Minify – Enable options:
Strip HTML comments, Inline all header CSS files, Inline all footer CSS files, Enable
defer of JS for Pagespeed Insights. WP Super Cache – leave everything in default
Clear cache in Fast Velocity Minify. It will show that it also cleared WP Super 
Cache DO NOT BELIEVE it. Clear and renew cache in Super Cache. Go to your site and
check that everything looks alright. Go to PageSpeed, my results 91/97 for mobile
and desktop. For Google Analytics use Complete Analytics Optimization Suite (CAOS)
plugin 🙂
