    Hi,
    I have disabled Google Fonts using your awesome Autoptimize plugin and indeed, I no longer see any fonts loaded from Google servers. Yay!

    But when I view the source of the webpage, I still see that there will always be a request made to fonts.gstatic.com, which performs a DNS lookup and established a TCP connection:

    <link href='https://fonts.gstatic.com' crossorigin rel='preconnect' />

    Not only is this request completely unnecessary when Google Fonts are not needed, it also would require me to put a GDPR notice on my website, since the established TCP connection leaks the IP address of my visitors to Google (which is what I want to prevent in the first place).

    Is this a bug in the plugin or am I using it wrongly? I am using the Twentyseventeen theme (with really minimal modifications, only concerning the CSS).

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]
