Problem with geolocation

  • Hi, love the plugin and use it on most sites, but just had a huge problem with it significantly slowing down a large WooCommerce site. We eventually figured out what it was after digging around in New Relic and turns out the geolocation API/script was causing really bad slowdown as it took too long to load. Is there a reason why visitor location data is not simply pulled in from standard analytics here? Is there a way to optimize performance to avoid this or do I just disable it (how?)?

    Thanks!

  • Any help with this? We do not have weather tracking on, but the geoplugin API is still showing up as being used and was singled out by our host as a problem. How do we disable it?

    EDIT (different login, sorry – same issue)

    We went in and found that there is a wrongly open bracket in the PHP code that calls the geoplugin via GET request IF the weather setting is set to off. I assume its an error, we moved the IF bracket and it fixed the issue. Please review this code for future updates, thanks!

    No problem, it is in line 412 in frontend.php When you lok at it you’ll see the else statement should be outside the bracket.
