Embed Google Fonts

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 89% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I have waited for something like this. Super easy to use and a great way to make your site EU GDPR compliant. Good work!

   I tried some of these plugins because people try to make money from people using google fonts directly in Germany. This one worked like a charm, I just had to get rid of one CSS-Import manually. But there was one request to fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans I could not get rid of. It took me ages to realize, it was from the WordPress Admin Bar. So you need to check in a fresh brwoser-window, best a private one. Thx to the people behind this plugin!

   Thank you guys. I appreciate your work! This is a wonderful example of how things should be: Someone just does the right thing. Even more admirable is that that is avalable to the public without a fee. Is there hope for mankind? 🙂 Cheers, Frank
