Biggest opportunity: Swap “core web vitals”, “gdpr” and “font optimization” for “auto optimize”, “gdpr compliant” and “host”. “core web vitals” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “auto optimize” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gdpr” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “gdpr compliant” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “font optimization” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “host” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →5.4%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 18.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Privacy & Consent plugin keeps 2.2%, across 502 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Privacy & Consent plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 6 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Swap “core web vitals”, “gdpr” and “font optimization” for “auto optimize”, “gdpr compliant” and “host”. “core web vitals” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “auto optimize” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gdpr” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “gdpr compliant” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “font optimization” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “host” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “google fonts”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

It does exactly what it’s supposed to do. And it doesn’t burden the system, it has no unnecessary frills. Thank you very much.

So far, everything is very good. PageSpeed Insights swore at Google fonts loaded from the server – so far so good 👍

I’ve kept on using a outdated plugin to load google fonts for local delivery for the European Union GDPR compliance. Easy Fonts is my absolute choice replacing this plugin with a simple one working perfect catching ALL fonts from the theme and further plugins without the need of uploading it manually. For my current pain using brizy pagebuilder, which implemented bunny fonts to be more compliant, no plugin are made for bunny fonts to be cached. My request to the support ended in 2 days of waiting which is phenomenal to have a solution for that. Thank you guys for this superior plugin solving my regular google fonts topic on many websites AND supporting bunny fonts without the need of uploading fonts manually to the website. This it pure flexibility any ease!

I must have installed 8 or 9 different plugins for hosting google fonts, but none of them worked with icon sets. This was the only plugin I found that would self-host the Google icon sets. It’s dead simple to use and setup too. Well done and keep up the good work!

I was struggling to find a lightweight local font plugin that works with Oxygen builder to replace a similar plugin on some sites that broke on update, this one works out of the box for me when ‘remove resource hints’ is enabled. Many thanks to the author!

this plugin is super lightweight and works smoothly. the plugin seamlessly downloads and replaces Google fonts with locally hosted ones.
