Immediately receive email notifications when a visitor accesses a page on your site. Provides a visitor's basic information to you as soon as they visit the page, such as time of access, user agent, HTTP referrer and anonymised IP Address. Optionally, the approximate location and timezone can be added too (see External services).
And instead of immediately receiving an email about the visitor the email can be delayed by a day or hour which will send a visit summary.
Notifications can be turned on for any post, page or custom post type, and for category, tag and custom taxonomy archive pages.
We use the Semantic Versioning system of defining versions (
https://semver.org/).
This means that version 1.10 is a minor update for the version 1.x branch and version 2.0 is a MAJOR update.
We will not wrap version numbers of double digits.
