Super simple to use. I've tried to use several ways to get the pre-loaded font error on my SEO removed, this was the only plugin that did that without any hassle or danger of corrupting my layout/ pages. Great Job! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c24a0ea406498b93e4a48193a6f08744f4b3ec005695f7e901ccfc36795e0baa? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Just activate the plugin and it works](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-activate-the-plugin-and-it-works/)󠁿 [Victor](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dusemedia/) June 3, 2021 Easy to use: Just activate the plugin and you are ready to go. Google Pagespeed Insights still nags about font-swap but the plugin author explained why: "The reCaptcha is injected via JS and we have no control over which font they download and add display swap to it." ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6b2ecbd787199045ca78b34bfa7b94eb78a4e7a13bb6b965485771e24167dd5f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Not worked for me](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-worked-for-me-11/)󠁿 [Deep Sojitra](https://profiles.wordpress.org/deepsojitra/) January 5, 2021 1 reply Plugin doesn't add font display swap to url and other fonts.
