    We noticed a file on the server, iawp-geo-db.mmdb from this plugin that is 127MB. Is that normal for this plugin? It’s in the uploads folder. What happens if that file is removed?

    thanks,

    Hi there,

    Thanks for using Independent Analytics!

    Yes, this file is added by our plugin. It is a database that maps IP addresses to geolocations and is required for the geographic tracking.

    If you don’t need geographic tracking, then you can remove it. Please add this line of code to your wp-config.php file:

    define('IAWP_DISABLE_GEO_TRACKING', true);

    Then you can delete the iawp-geo-db.mmdb file and it won’t be redownloaded.
