Find external Google Fonts on your website

Find direct references to Google Fonts in HTML and linked style sheets. The result distinguishes embedded fonts from mere connection hints and shows where you can change the integration.

Start of test

Public HTTP(S) retrievals via Seitenreport. Fixed time and call-up limits, no registration. No paid data providers.

Why the type of involvement is crucial

The same font can be integrated via Google servers or as a file on your own domain. The visible scripture name alone says nothing about it. This checker searches for references to fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com in stylesheet links, CSS imports, and font sources. A locally stored font can therefore be used without generating a direct Google reference.

Specifically addressing references

A stylesheet link in the head can come from the theme, a CMS plugin or a pagebuilder. A CSS import, on the other hand, is in a style sheet. Font files are usually referenced in @font-face. Open the specified source and check the appropriate setting. After a change to local files, old imports, preloads and connection instructions must be removed and page and CDN caches emptied.

A link is not yet a call-up.

preconnect and dns-prefetch prepare connections. The tool explicitly identifies such elements as connection instructions. A stylesheet link or font source is a stronger statement about the planned integration, but does not yet confirm a complete browser network history. Whether a rule is actually used depends, among other things, on CSS, device, language and page display.

Scope and supplementary control

Up to 1 MB HTML and a maximum of six external stylesheets including recognized imports are tested. JavaScript, consent states, embedded frames and other subpages are not passed through in the browser. “No direct references” is therefore not a data protection release. Check important page types individually and check the network requests before and after consent in the browser. For size, font-display and preloads, you also use the Webfont-Checker.

Example of classification

fonts.googleapis.com/css2 is an external style sheet. /fonts/inter.woff2 is a local font source. A preconnect on fonts.gstatic.com is displayed as a connection notice and not as a confirmed download.

Frequent questions

Is a result without a hit a GDPR confirmation?

No. The checker examines a limited static section and does not replace an examination of actual data flows or legal evaluation.

Does the tool recognize locally hosted Google fonts?

It detects @font-face definitions, but does not reliably determine the license or original origin of locally hosted files.

Are all subpages searched?

No. The entered page and up to six style sheets are checked. You can check other page types individually.
