IPGeolocation.io – Geo Redirects & Content Control

IPGeolocation.io – Geo Redirect & Content Control is a powerful WordPress plugin that allows you to control how visitors interact with your site based on their geographic location.

The plugin uses the ipgeolocation.io API to determine a visitor’s country and other metadata, enabling advanced geo-based logic without slowing down your site.

Main Features

• Country-based redirects (entire site, specific pages, or URL patterns)
• Optional popup confirmation before redirect
• Country-level access control (allow or block)
• Conditional content shortcodes
• Output visitor geolocation data via shortcode
• Page and query-string exclusions
• Redirect bypass and reset via URL parameters
• Bot detection (search engines & social crawlers excluded)
• Administrator-safe (admins are never redirected)
• IP response caching using WordPress transients

External Services Used

This plugin relies on the ipgeolocation.io API to provide its core geolocation functionality.

API Features Used: – Determines visitor country, city, state, continent, latitude/longitude, and more – Detects proxy, VPN, Tor usage, and cloud providers – Enables country-based redirects, content visibility rules, and access control – Caches API responses for 24 hours per IP to reduce requests and improve performance
