Font files are cached after the first download \u2014 subsequent page loads serve fonts directly from your server with no external requests.<\/p>\n\n Your visitors stay private, your website stays legal, and you get complete peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n To learn more about my work, visit opsionic.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n This plugin makes server-side requests to Google's font services to download CSS and font files.
