Title: Cannot disable Google fonts Last modified: April 16, 2018 --- # Cannot disable Google fonts * Resolved [jonnylander](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonnylander/) * (@jonnylander) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-disable-google-fonts/) * Hi, * I want to disable Google Fonts on my page and fortunately I found this plugin. I checked the box to remove Google Fonts and… nothing happens. * I checked my site with [https://webbkoll.dataskydd.net/en](https://webbkoll.dataskydd.net/en). There is still a connection to fonts.googleapis.com * What can I do?

If they are loaded differently (e.g. using JS), then AO will not stop that. * but if you share your URL [@jonnylander](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonnylander/) I can have a quick look to see what is happening? * frank * Thread Starter [jonnylander](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonnylander/) * (@jonnylander) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-disable-google-fonts/#post-10187308) * Thanks for the quick reply! I searched the style.css and could not find any URL to google. I think I found the code in the functions.php * Theme is [https://de.wordpress.org/themes/square/](https://de.wordpress.org/themes/square/) URL is [http://www.hardtschule.de](http://www.hardtschule.de) * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-disable-google-fonts/#post-10187399) * hmm, the only font being loaded seems to be * ``` ``` * and AO _should_ be able to remove that. if you can re-enable AO I’ll be happy to review. * frank * Thread Starter [jonnylander](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonnylander/) * (@jonnylander) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-disable-google-fonts/#post-10187419) * Right! It’s just Roboto! * AO is still enabled! * I just enabled the following checkboxes: – Remove emojis – Remove Google fonts * Nothing else! I’m pleased that you want to help me! * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-disable-google-fonts/#post-10187444) * ah, but you need to have “optimize CSS” active for the google fonts to be remove and “optimize JS” for emoji’s to be removed. I might have to make that more clear! - This reply was modified 8 years ago by [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/).

Unfortunately that setting crashes the whole theme-layout. It’s a pity. * 😉 * Seems that I have to search for another solution… * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-disable-google-fonts/#post-10187653) * well, either have a look at [the AO FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/#faq) for info on troubleshooting (e.g. adding `wp-content/themes/square/` to the exclusion list would exclude all of your theme files from CSS optimization) or [try the 2.4 beta](https://blog.futtta.be/2018/02/18/introducing-zytzagoos-major-changes-for-autoptimize-2-4/) which can remove google fonts if you just enable “optimize HTML”. * Thread Starter [jonnylander](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonnylander/) * (@jonnylander) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-disable-google-fonts/#post-10187779) * BAM! Great Support! Works fine now. * I excluded the whole “wp-content”. * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-disable-google-fonts/#post-10187845) * > I excluded the whole “wp-content”. * smart 🙂 * > BAM! > Great Support!

If they are loaded differently( e.g. using JS), then AO will not stop that.” * I tried now to use this great plugin on another page with the same settings. But this time Google Fonts are still loading. I don’t understand anything about coding. * Maybe you can give me a short reply if the plugin works with following website?
