User IP and Location

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 36% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   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!

   Great plugin for getting users IP address and Other IP related pieces of stuff. Some minor changes needed, emailed the developer. All in all, does what it says
