Free features Visitor dashboard with online, daily, 7-day, 30-day, 90-day, total, human, and bot counters. Clean, responsive visitor list with human-readable visitor, location, activity, device, source and page columns. Page title/path, referrer, browser, approximate location, masked IP details, and visit-time records. Human, suspected bot, verified bot, and unknown traffic classification. Exclusion of selected logged-in WordPress user roles. Local storage of visitor records in the site’s WordPress database. Optional approximate city/country lookup through documented external GeoIP providers. Separate add-on information The admin navigation contains informational placeholders for Analytics, Live Visitors, Campaigns, Reports, and Clear Data.

When the separate add-on is installed, it replaces the informational callbacks and supplies its own functionality. Privacy This plugin can store visitor information in the site’s WordPress database. Depending on settings and request data, records may include: IP address User agent and browser name Page path and landing page Referrer information Visit date and time Logged-in WordPress user ID, username and display name Human/bot classification details Approximate city and country when GeoIP lookup is enabled The plugin does not send visitor analytics data to Codersly.

When enabled, a visitor IP address may be sent in the background to one of the documented GeoIP providers. Site owners are responsible for providing appropriate privacy notices and obtaining any consent required by applicable law.

Machete is a simple suite of tools that solves common WordPress annoyances using as few resources as possible. Machete doesn’t cover every single use case, but there is a huge amount of sites that would require less plugins if they used Machete. All Machete tools have two things in common: they solve problems faced by many web developers and they do it using as few server resources as possible. So far, Machete includes the following tools: WordPress Optimization WordPress places a lot of code inside the tag just to keep backward compatibility or to enable optional features. You can disable most of it and save some time from each page request while making your installation safer. Cookies & GDPR Warning We know you hate cookie warning bars. Well, this is the least hateable cookie bar you’ll find. It is really light, doesn’t affect your PageSpeed score and plays well with static cache plugins. Analytics and custom code You don’t need a zillion plugins to perform easy tasks like inserting a verification meta tag (Google Search Console, Bing, Pinterest), a json-ld snippet or a custom stylesheet (Google Fonts, Print Styles, accessibility tweaks…). The Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager tracking codes are PageSpeed optimized, GPDR friendly. Maintenance mode The maintenance mode that ships with WordPress is just a basic lock-down that is activated whenever you do a major update. With machete Maintenance Mode you can hide your unfinished page from visitors and search engines, give your clients a secure temporary access and lock your site without affecting your SEO. Post & Page cloner Adds a “duplicate” link to post, page and most post types lists. Also adds “copy to new draft” function to the post editor. Social Sharing Buttons Social sharing done the Machete way. The icons are made as a custom webfont embedded in a minified CSS file that only weighs 5.8KB. The sharing actions use each platform’s native share URL. WooCommerce Utils WooCommerce was designed to work for every possible use case, but that often leads to unexpected behavior. These simple fixes can improve the WooCommerce user experience by making it behave as clients expect.
