Google Webfont Optimizer
https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-webfont-optimizer/
Most sites or themes use Google Fonts to make the typeface look modern and clear. Some plugins even include Google Fonts to make their plugin display better. Unfortunately, all this adds up to a lot of different Google Fonts being requested for each webpage, making the website slower with a lower Google PageSpeed score. Ultimately, it lowers your visitor's experience and you could drop down in the search results. Google already solved this problem on their servers by allowing you to ask for multiple fonts in a single request, but that doesn't fix the problem on YOUR website.Google WebFont Optimizer finds every Google Fonts request, bulks them all together so your website only asks Google once for the fonts, instead of multiple times.

Note

Note is a simple and easy to use widget for editing bits of text, live, in your WordPress front-end Customizer. Add Notes into any sidebar to visualize how your copy will appear within the unique layout and design of your website. With Note, there's no more painful back and forth from the WordPress dashboard to the front-end of your site to refresh. Simply add your Note widget into a sidebar and begin typing. It's that easy.
