It uses the reliable **IpWhoIs API** to fetch country data based on the visitor’s IP. ### Will it slow down my site? Nope. It’s optimized with **transient caching** and smart triggers — no unnecessary lookups. ### Can I lock myself out? No. There’s a **login bypass URL** generated for administrators — shown right on the dashboard. ### Can I block specific pages? Not yet — current version works site-wide. Per-page rules may come in a future update. ### Can I export visitor logs? Yes. Logs can be exported in **CSV or JSON** format directly from the Logs tab. ### Does it work with caching plugins? Yes, but you may need to **exclude the plugin’s logic** from caching. Dynamic geo checks should not be cached. ### 🗂️ Changelog #### 1.0.0 * 🎉 Initial release with all core features ### 🛡️ Additional Notes ### Emergency Bypass Every admin gets a custom bypass link to avoid accidental lockouts. It’s always visible in the dashboard. ### Blocking Actions Choose the experience blocked users receive: – Custom message – Redirect to another URL – Send 403 Forbidden header ### Logs & Privacy Logs are stored locally in your WordPress database. The plugin sends only the visitor’s IP to IPWho.is — no personally identifiable information is shared or stored externally. ### 💡 Enjoying Geo Blocker?
