Live Visitor Monitor provides real-time tracking and visualization of visitors on your WordPress site. See where your visitors are coming from on an interactive world map.
Key Features:
<ul>
<li>Real-time World Map – Visualize visitor locations on an interactive map with live markers</li>
<li>Live Visitor List – See active visitors with IP addresses, countries, cities, and pages visited in a sidebar</li>
<li>IP Blocking – Instantly block unwanted IP addresses from accessing your site with a dedicated Blocklist page</li>
<li>Geolocation – Automatic country, region, and city detection using IP geolocation (API or local database)</li>
<li>Auto-refresh – Dashboard updates every 5 seconds to show the latest visitors</li>
<li>Statistics Overlay – Real-time stats box showing online and active visitor counts</li>
<li>Comprehensive Settings – Full control over tracking, geolocation, privacy, and data management</li>
<li>Privacy Compliant – Includes GDPR compliance notices and IP anonymization options</li>
</ul>
How It Works:
The plugin automatically tracks visitors. Visitor data (IP address, current page, referrer) is sent to WordPress via AJAX and stored in the database. Geolocation data can be fetched from the bundled DB-IP Lite MMDB database, external IP geolocation APIs, or browser-provided coordinates when visitors allow location access. Results are cached for 1 hour to reduce API calls.

<h3>External Resources</h3>
This plugin uses <a href="Leaflet.js" rel="nofollow ugc">JavaScript Library</a> & the following external resources:
<a href="https://db-ip.com/db/download/ip-to-city-lite" rel="nofollow ugc">DB-IP City Lite</a>: This local MMDB database performs offline IP geolocation when available. The Lite database is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
<a href="https://ipwho.is" rel="nofollow ugc">ipwho.is</a> and <a href="http://ip-api.com" rel="nofollow ugc">ip-api.com</a>: These services perform IP geolocation (country, region, city, coordinates) when geolocation is enabled and no local database result is available. Results are cached for one hour to reduce API calls.
<a href="https://nominatim.org/release-docs/latest/api/Reverse/" rel="nofollow ugc">OpenStreetMap Nominatim</a>: This service performs reverse geocoding for browser-provided coordinates when visitors allow geolocation. Results are cached for one hour.
<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org" rel="nofollow ugc">OpenStreetMap</a>: This service provides world map tiles for the dashboard and is used only when the live map is enabled. It has no rate limits, sends no user data (only map tile requests), and can be avoided by disabling the live map in Settings.
Note: External geolocation requests can be avoided by using the bundled local MMDB database and disabling browser coordinate lookup. The plugin will still track visitors, but location accuracy depends on the available source.
