Upon installation, Independent Analytics uploads a database file called iawp-geo-db.mmdb your /wp-content/uploads/ folder. This file maps IP addresses to geolocations and is how Independent Analytics is able to geolocate your visitors.
If your site uses Cloudflare, you can use their geolocation headers for free instead of using the MMDB file uploaded by Independent Analytics.
To make the switch, start by visiting the Analytics > Settings menu. Then, scroll down to the Geolocation Provider section.
From here, you can select theĀ CloudflareĀ option and click theĀ SaveĀ button.
You’ll see a confirmation that tracking is working after saving your settings.
Once enabled, Independent Analytics will delete the MMDB file in your /wp-content/uploads/ folder and use the geolocation headers provided by Cloudflare instead.
The geolocations derived from Cloudflare will be more accurate and consistent than those discovered with the MMDB file. For this reason, we recommend that all websites using Cloudflare switch to this new option.
