Self-Hosted 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 · 100% 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.

   Thank you for that plugin. I use it since years on nearly every website I am creating and still it is working. But lately I experienced some warnings about deprecated code.

   Although it’s 4 years old, it does the job pretty well. Even better than many actual plugins. Great plugin. Installed it on a site with my own theme. Has just a small settings window, and from the first load of the website it recognized, downloaded, cached and hosted all Google Fonts. So it seems it’s GDPR compliant. Easy and simple! Great plugin, thumbs up 👍 This topic was modified 3 years, 10 months ago by bedengler.

   Been using this for a little bit now and just noticed it’s 4yrs last updated… Bit concerned haha. Would you mind checking things out and making sure that it is still simple enough to be safe, without need of update to help us know? Thank you so much for your efforts!
