What is Visitors Right Now (VRN)?

Visitors Right Now is what you have always asked for. A plugin that lets you count the number of website visitors. 

Okay, you might argue that there are a lot of plugins that let you do that. So, what’s so special about VRN? That VRN offers a lot more than what other plugins offer.

VRN provides a range of exciting features including:

  • Current visitor count

The current visitor count feature allows the website owners to check the number of people that are logged in on the site in real-time.

This display is available on each page of the site and you can check it separately just by toggling through the pages. 

  • A backend interface with styling and display option 

The last feature is the backend which covers everything from display to styling. This provides all the necessary information that you may require on visitors.

In the visitor statistics, there are 3 distinct details provided by the plugin.

Useful insights on Visitors Right Now or VRN

Is The Visitor Information Secured?

Yes, completely! Visitors plugin reads the visitors’ IP address to ascertain the link which prompted them to come to the site. This makes VRN safe and secure with no chance of intrusion on visitor information. Some people might get alarmed about it, but there is nothing to worry about. A lot of the sites are already following this process primarily to fend off any DDoS attacks. Also, this method helps in protecting the site against threats from viruses. 

In layman terms, VRN simply tracks the visitors’ count and displays it in an easily readable format. The best part is that visitors do not feel any difference here, especially with page loading times. 

How Are The Counts Updated?

The counts are updated in real-time. What Visitors Right Now does is track the visitors by clicks or redirects. So if a visitor is clicking the link from their emails or another website or mobile device or simply from Google, the click will get updated in the visitor count. 

This helps in tracking people who are spamming the link and gives accurate information at any given point of time. In a nutshell, the plugin will help you track visitor counts by the minute, and chances of data loss are negligible. 

Is The Visitor Count Always Visible?

The answer is No. The visibility of the visitor count is dependent on how much information you want to provide. So, if you want to hide the visitor count, then all you have to do is disable the counter and it’s gone. However, if you still want the backend statistics to keep working then you can keep it running. A good idea would be to keep the counter off if the site is not getting a lot of visitors. You will always have the option of turning it back on once the traffic picks up.

Is There Any Way To Customize The Visitor Counter?

Yes, the plugin is designed in such a way that the visitor counter can easily be customized. From the fonts to colors and size – you can customize it as per your needs. Moreover, you can also customize the information on the visitor counter. You can customize the information, update it, delete it or play around as per your requirement. Even if you want to display the visitor count of the last month or month before that, you can still do that. 

Who Is Behind Visitors Right Now?

It might come as a surprise but the people behind the plugin is a couple. Yes, me and my husband decided to roll out this plugin for webmasters.

Okay, so, I run a blog with an alternate reality game or ARG while my partner owns a local shop with zero computer understanding. The interesting thing here is that he is the ideator behind the plugin. 

He wanted to help me run my blog and recommended me to track the count of my readers (in this case the visitors). This was the moment I realized how important it is to have a plugin to track the time when visitors are coming to your page. 

This is why downloading this WordPress plugin is a prudent step to understand when people are visiting your site. In addition, you know the timings for low traffic and how you can increase the traffic. This plugin is a multipurpose tool. 

So Why Do I Need Visitors Right Now?

If you are a new business selling a product or providing information to people, like running a blog then VRN is the tool you need. For people engaged in online activities, some of which as mentioned above, having the information why, when, and where people visit your website is the key. So having a dedicated plugin to track this information makes VRN a necessity for websites.
