Disregarding the huge advantages of CDNs, it would be really great if the Webflow project settings allowed to:
1) disable the call to ajax.googleapis.com completely and instead serve the fonts from uploads-ssl.webflow.com (or allow to add them manually via CSS, base64 encoded)
2) load jQuery from uploads-ssl.webflow.com instead of code.jquery.com (or even allow to disable it if it is not used)
3) load html5shiv.(min).js from uploads-ssl.webflow.com instead of Cloudflare
4) load placeholders.(min).js from uploads-ssl.webflow.com instead of Cloudflare
Reasons why I put this on the wishlist:
- To comply with EU-GDPR, those responsible for running a website hosted on webflow have to make sure that any third party that may come in contact with personal data (and according to the ECJ, this includes IP addresses as well) have a DPA in effect with the website owner. Webflow already offers such a DPA. So do Google and Cloudflare, but jQuery.com for example does not.
- Regardless, some may just like to keep the text of their privacy policy way shorter by not having to mention so many third parties.
- Furthermore, in some cases the access to certain CDNs like code.jquery.com may be blocked, like in China.
- If you use custom webfonts and a generic fallback, you don't need to load all the Open Sans variants that are being loaded by default
Thank you for your consideration! :-)

This feature is HIGHLY needed right now as the auto-load of the google fonts are now not compliant with German GPDR anymore. I'm clueless with my landing page.

any news on this? in germany currently a lot of website getting a attorney's letter with fine of about 170,-€. This make me anger of what easy people now making money and also in a legitimately way. there must be a way to stop either pulling google fonts automatically, or stop this sick behaviour of lawyers!

It seems you can eliminate all references to googleapis.com by either using a custom font, or using a font that is so widely available it doesn't require download, like Arial. I just tested the site with my friend in China: when using a font supplied by Google, like Open Sans, it takes a full three minutes to load in China. After switching to Arial, it loads near instantly.

This is very essential to reach China. Please add this function asap.

My firm uses Webflow to create custom pages to showcase and educate on our services.
The current inability to turn off the Google references means we're having to go in and make hand edits to code each time we create a page for China.
