GetSiteCalendar Lite for WordPress Plugin Directory
GetSiteCalendar Lite is a WordPress Plugin Directory app by GetSiteCalendar Lite.
AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
GetSiteCalendar Lite is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- No standout positives based on current data signals.
Cons
- −No public reviews yet — fit and reliability are unverified

External services Site Calendar Lite does not send analytics, telemetry, or any data about your site back to its authors. The only external service the plugin interacts with is:
Google Maps embed (single-event pages)
When a single-event page is rendered and the event has a venue with an address, the plugin embeds a Google Maps iframe so visitors can see the venue location and get directions. The embed uses Google’s public https://www.google.com/maps?output=embed endpoint and does not require an API key.
What data is sent: The venue address only (no visitor data, no event details, no attendee data). The browser — not the server — is what loads the iframe, so the request originates from the site visitor, not from your WordPress installation.
When it’s sent: Each time a single-event page is rendered that has a venue with a non-empty address. Events without a venue address do not embed the map.
Provided by: Google LLC.
Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms
Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
If you do not wish to embed Google Maps on event pages, simply leave the venue’s address field empty — the map will not be rendered.
Privacy Site Calendar Lite stores attendee names and email addresses (provided via the RSVP form) in your own WordPress database, in the pcal_attendee custom post type. No data is sent to third parties from the server side. Site owners are responsible for their own privacy policy and GDPR compliance. See also the External services section above for information about Google Maps iframe embeds on single-event pages.
