Brizy still loads Lato from fonts.bunny.net despite local default font

Hello Brizy Support,

we are experiencing an issue with external font loading on our WordPress website:

https://blk-auto.de/

All global typography settings in Brizy use Raleway.
We have also uploaded Roboto locally through the Brizy Font Manager and set this local Roboto font as the default font.

Lato has been completely removed from the Brizy Font Manager.

Nevertheless, Brizy still generates an external stylesheet request to:

https://fonts.bunny.net/css?family=Lato:...

Chrome DevTools shows that the request is initiated directly by the page HTML.

We have already:

• removed Lato from the Brizy Font Manager
• set a locally uploaded Roboto font as Default
• set Global Typography to Raleway
• updated/resaved the Brizy page
• cleared the caches

The Bunny Fonts request is still generated.

Could you please check why Brizy is still enqueueing Lato/Bunny Fonts and how we can completely prevent this external request?

This is important for GDPR compliance in Germany. We need all fonts to be served locally without requests to external font providers.

 

Best regards,

Tadi

  Hi Tadi,

  Thank you for contacting us.

  Could you please try adding the following snippet to your child theme’s functions.php file? Alternatively, you can add it through the WPCode plugin as a PHP snippet set to run everywhere:

  add_filter('style_loader_src', function ($src) {
      if (strtolower((string) wp_parse_url($src, PHP_URL_HOST)) === 'fonts.bunny.net') {
          return '';
      }
  
      return $src;
  }, PHP_INT_MAX);

  This snippet blocks stylesheets served from fonts.bunny.net when they are loaded through WordPress’s enqueue system, while leaving other stylesheets unchanged.

  After activating it, please clear your website and browser caches and check whether the Bunny Fonts request has stopped.

  Best regards,
  Ariel H.

  Hi Ariel,

  thank you. We've implemented the filter and tested it - successfully!

  Just to clarify: Is this intended as a permanent solution, or only as a workaround?

  Since Lato has already been completely removed from the Brizy Font Manager, our locally hosted Roboto font is set as the default font, and all Global Typography settings use Raleway, we would expect Brizy not to enqueue fonts.bunny.net in the first place.

  Could you please confirm whether the continued generation of the Bunny/Lato stylesheet is a known Brizy issue and whether it will be fixed in a future update?

  We would prefer to remove the external font request at its source rather than permanently filtering it through WordPress.

  Best regards

  Tadi

  Hi Tadi,

  Thank you for confirming that the filter worked.

  The snippet is a workaround that prevents the Bunny Fonts stylesheet from loading. The same approach is used by other themes and plugins to disable Google Fonts and other external font libraries by filtering or dequeueing their stylesheets.

  We can submit a feature request for Brizy to provide a built-in option to disable external font requests, removing the need for a WordPress filter. While we can’t guarantee when or whether this option will be included in a future update, we understand why it would be useful.

  For now, please keep the filter enabled to block the request.

  Best regards,  
  Ariel H.

  Hi Ariel,

   

  thanks for the explanation and for this workaround until a dedicated solution is available.

   

  Best regards,

  Tadi
