AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Google Webfont Optimizer is a mixed-rating WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 15 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Google Webfont Optimizer works
Show full descriptionShow less
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!
