IP Locator is a country and language detection tool for WordPress. It is fast, reliable and plug & play.
It can detect and render the country, the main language and the country flag of each visitor of your site. It provides:
<ul>
<li>a strong, accurate and ultra-fast IP and country detection;</li>
<li>many shortcodes to display country names, languages and flags (emoji or vectorized);</li>
<li>a shortcode to conditionally hide or show strings or other shortcodes;</li>
<li>a CSS modifier to add a country-specific class to the <code>body</code> tag of your site;</li>
<li>an automatic system to be always up to date (no API key, no IP data files to manually import);</li>
<li>a full-featured API for plugins / themes developers.</li>
</ul>
For full details, you can browse <a href="https://github.com/Pierre-Lannoy/wp-ip-locator/blob/master/SHORTCODES.md" rel="nofollow ugc">the shortcodes list</a> or <a href="https://github.com/Pierre-Lannoy/wp-ip-locator/blob/master/DEVELOPER.md" rel="nofollow ugc">the API description</a> (for developers).
IP Locator can be used too to report the following main items and characteristics:
<ul>
<li>KPIs: number of detected countries and languages, accesses breakdown and detection ratio;</li>
<li>countries for real humans with public IPs;</li>
<li>languages for real humans with public IPs;</li>
<li>metrics variations;</li>
<li>metrics distributions;</li>
<li>full list of countries per channel;</li>
<li>full list of countries per client (requires the free <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/device-detector/" rel="ugc">Device Detector</a> plugin).</li>
</ul>
Technically, IP Locator:
<ul>
<li>works on dedicated or shared servers;</li>
<li>can detect the source IP even behind proxies or load-balancers;</li>
<li>can use AWS CloudFront, Cloudflare and Apache mod_geoip to speed-up detection;</li>
<li>natively supports APCu caching(1) and all other dedicated object caching mechanisms, like Memcached or Redis;</li>
<li>has a minimal footprint in the page rendering time;</li>
<li>runs its data updates in background, without impact on the website speed;</li>
<li>is fully compatible with multisites;</li>
<li>natively supports names and languages localizations(2).</li>
</ul>

This plugin makes it easy to distinguish between your local development site, and your live site. 
I created this because I often use a local duplicate of my live site, for development, with the same DB, and the same URL.
I needed a quick & easy way of distinguishing between my live and development sites at a glance. This plugin acheives that in the simplest way possible.
There are settings for colour, positioning and the text displayed on the badge. It is also possible to add a link onto the badge.

WP Dev Flag

Shows a floating badge on the front end, to visually distinguish your development site from production.
