Many websites want, or would like, to use Google fonts for their text. This can cause two issues:
- Performance can lag as sites need to communicate with Google’s servers in order to use the fonts.
- GDPR regulations do not allow websites to pass on user info to Google’s servers, making it difficult to use these fonts and remain GDPR compliant.
In order to avoid these issues, Elementor allows website owners to load Google fonts locally. Visitors will benefit from faster performance and since visitors are only interacting with the site’s servers, there are no GDPR issues.
Note
Load Google fonts locally is an experimental feature. To learn how to activate experimental features, see Activate Elementor experimental features.
