VISITORS GLOBE — a live globe of your visitors

Real-time magic on a world map. VISITORS GLOBE turns analytics into a show: on a 3D globe you see blinking dots for active visitors (last 10–15 minutes) and static markers for recent history. Beautiful, clear, fast.

Key benefits

Real-time effect. See who’s on your site right now — and from where.
Visuals over tables. Up to 10,000 latest points across the world at a glance.
Smart clustering. Zoomed out → points group; zoom in → clusters expand into individual dots.
Zero setup. Install and it just works. Themes: Classic OSM (3D globe with OSM overlay) and Land-Cover Relief (3D relief globe with OSM overlays).
Lightweight & fast. WebGL globe, minimal dependencies, mobile-friendly.
Privacy by default. Stores only a coordinate and a timestamp — no personal data.

How it works (30 seconds)

A lightweight script records visit time and an approximate coordinate.
The server appends a point to a compact JSON file (auto-trim to ~10,000).
The globe shows bright blinking dots for users online now and static dots for recent history.

Who it’s for

Online stores — impressively show and track your global audience.
Marketing teams — visual, real-time feedback on campaign performance.
Media & blogs — a “live” proof of reach.
Events, festivals, museums — an eye-catching showcase of visitor activity.
B2B projects — a strong visual for decks and case studies.

Integration: couldn’t be easier

WordPress. Install the VISITORS plugin: it creates /visitors/, injects a small script into <head>, and provides a link like https://your.domain/visitors/. No settings — optimized out of the box.

Any site (HTML/PHP). Add one line to your <head>:

<script src="/visitors/js/visitor.js"></script>

Upload the /visitors/ folder to your site root (usually /public_html/). That’s it — it works immediately. Compatible with Google Tag Manager/Analytics; any hosting is fine.

Privacy & compliance

Only coordinates and a timestamp are stored (no name, email, etc.).
No identity tracking, no unnecessary cookies.
GDPR-friendly by design: minimal data ⇒ minimal risk.

FAQ

Will this load my server?
The script is lightweight and requests are tiny. For very large projects there’s an SQLite option.

What if a user blocks geolocation?
Location is approximate via IP (provider’s point of presence). Accuracy depends on IP geo data.

How much does it cost?
Base version — $12. Custom themes, integrations, and extensions — on request.
