Biggest opportunity: Swap “statistics” and “website analytics” for “ip tracking” and “visitor identification”. “statistics” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ip tracking” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “website analytics” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “visitor identification” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 137.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,011 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 4 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Great plugin – simple, accurate, and very reliable. Trace My IP gives clear visitor tracking without any fuss and works flawlessly on my WordPress site. Recommended.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ecys1.2y ago
It’s my favorite tool for inspecting what people do when they arrive at my website. From time to time, I have to review the activity of certain users with devices using iOS or macOS, since they don’t account for my typical conversions, and I haven’t optimized Google Tag Manager to keep track of these users. No one is immune; I always end up knowing whether a click came from my campaigns or from an unpaid source. TraceMyIP is much better than Clicky in this regard.

The plugin has a lot of features and a lot of time and effort has been made. Some parts are a bit confusing for me, but then I don’t need much more than the basics. With the June 2025 update, the features are SUPER COOL! I can see views on my products and views on my pages automatically and I can change the sort to show by page view ranking. Plus the summary on the dashboard is great. Really, really nice improvements! Thank you in a big way! Everyone needs this plug in for IP Tracking A+
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Avir Media1.4y ago
Been using TraceMyIP for about 8 months now and it’s become my go-to for visitor tracking. The new UnFiltered Stats feature is great (added yesterday!) – shows traffic that Google Analytics misses due to ad blockers. Really like the real-time alerts and IP blocking options. The interface could be tweaked a little, but it’s very functional and gets the job done. The fact that it catches bot traffic vs real visitors is super helpful for getting accurate stats. Would recommend if you need detailed visitor tracking beyond industry standard analytics. Also, the UnFiltered Stats now shows IPv6 addresses with my current hosting setup. That’s cool. Pros: Two tracking systems in one (cloud + local) Catches blocked traffic other tools miss Good email alerts Accurate bot filtering Cons: Dashboard could be more customizable Other than that, thanks! Nothing like this tool on the market.

The plugin is good! I used this service a long time ago, but I took a break from internet activity for a while. Recently, I started using it again and noticed significant improvements. I particularly like the new visitor email alerts. I use this for managing an affiliate program and find it extremely useful to associate visitor activity with legitimate users while preventing fraudulent activity through email alerts and IP blocking. Although I use other web stats programs, I find TraceMyIP very competitive and, in some areas, more useful. Some features I think would be useful: A dark theme for the interface. A dedicated phone app (though with this much data, reviewing stats on a phone might not be very convenient). Referral program. I frequently recommend this service, so it would be nice to earn some referral rewards— even something small like enough to buy me a coffee once a week!

I followed the instructions to the letter. Over and over just to make sure. I have no reports and every feature on this addon is completely greyed out. As if nothing displays. I see nothing at all just blank pages in the menu. I go to report to see a list of… something… and blank. Not even a table. Nothing. Grey emptiness.
