Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Globe Visitors Counter (Lite) adds a beautiful, fast, iframe-isolated 3D visitor globe to any WordPress site.

It instantly shows your audience geography — fully locally, privately, and without any third-party tracking.

This Lite version is designed for clarity, speed, and instant visual feedback — especially on landing pages and campaign pages.

Use Case: Instant Visual Feedback for Advertising Campaigns

The situation

You have a product or a service.

You launch an advertising campaign:

  • Google Ads
  • Facebook / Instagram
  • TikTok
  • banner ads
  • email campaigns
  • any other traffic source

All traffic is sent to one landing page.

Usually what comes next is boring:

tables, charts, numbers, dashboards, “we’ll analyze it later”.

The solution

You place Globe Visitors Counter Lite directly on the landing page.

No server setup.

No external analytics.

No configuration.

And you start seeing your traffic with your own eyes.

How it works (very simple)

  • You launch the ads
  • Visitors arrive at the page
  • Each real visitor appears as a dot on the globe — in real time, from their actual location

The globe comes alive and instantly shows:

– whether people are coming at all

– which countries and regions react

– whether the campaign works or misses completely

No dots — ads don’t work.

Dots appear — ads are alive.

Why Lite is perfect for landing pages

Lite is not deep analytics.

It’s a visual “life indicator”.

Perfect when you need:

– fast visual feedback

– immediate confirmation that traffic is real

– zero setup and zero learning curve

– a simple “wow effect” for clients, teams, or investors

You watch, not analyze.

Key Features

  • Interactive 3D Land-Cover globe included out of the box
  • Real-time visitor logging using a tiny local JSON file
  • Historical dots displayed automatically
  • Zero configuration, works with all themes & editors
  • Shortcode-based, easy placement on any page
  • No cookies, no remote APIs, GDPR-friendly
  • Ultra-fast loading thanks to iframe sandboxing

How It Works

When a page with the shortcode is opened, the plugin loads a fully self-contained viewer from:

/wp-content/uploads/visitors-lite-landcover/

Each visit is logged locally as a minimal record (timestamp + coordinates + city + country) into:

json

Everything stays on your server.

No tracking pixels.

No third-party analytics.

No cookies.

Why Use It

  • Ideal for landing pages and product launches
  • Visualizes global audience instantly
  • Safe for cached pages and CDNs
  • Works even on heavily optimized sites

When You May Need the Full Version

Lite is intentionally simple and fast.

If you need:

– long-term statistics

– multiple pages or sites

– extended visitor history

– advanced visual modes and skins

– more control and customization

…then the Full (Pro) version may be a better fit.

Lite remains perfect for single pages, launches, tests, and quick visual validation.
