Biggest opportunity: Swap “country” and “geolocation” for “ip” and “location”. “country” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ip” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “geolocation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “location” sits at #5 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 3K of 43.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 1 release 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “country” and “geolocation” for “ip” and “location”. “country” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ip” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “geolocation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “location” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

I’ve been using this plugin for a while now and it has been working great for what I need which is the country names. The support team is also nice, there was an issue after a big update and they were able to fix it in less than 24 hours

The plugin was working fine until the most recent version of WordPress updated. This plugin is currently not compatible with WordPress. One device that I used showed that my location was 100 miles away in the north west direction, while another showed it was 100 miles south. I would like to keep using this plugin, but I need an update fast. I was pitching businesses yesterday with a website demo and the location was not correct.

Does the job, without troubles ! – All other plugins were so complicated to do such a small task. I know it’s not super turbo equiped with trackings, but it is simple and effective. 5 stars to that !

This deserves much more use and reviews. 5 stars! I tried to code something similar myself and use other complicated plugins. Finally found THIS plugin and it was simple as… install plugin > use shortcode > get output I wanted on the page!
