How different is TraceMyIP website visitors tracking?
What makes it different from other website visitor IP trackers?
TraceMyIP features a uniquely designed IP address tracking engine that analyzes visitor connections before capturing the IP broadcasted by the connecting machine. This enables it to differentiate the type of connecting device, its purpose, and the connection routing. Many incoming connections report IPs that are either inaccurate or routed through proxy servers to conceal the remote machine’s identity. TraceMyIP is designed to detect such instances and, in many cases, reveal the actual IP address behind a proxy.Sign up to instantly track website visitors IPs!
In some cases, dropped communication packets or incorrect routing IP tables may deliver corrupted IP address data. When this occurs, TraceMyIP either waits for additional connection attempts or uses a backup connection node to obtain the correct IP address. By leveraging multiple methods and variables associated with an incoming IP connection, the system enhances accuracy in capturing true IP addresses.
Additionally, it is common for devices to change IP addresses during a single website session. For instance, if a user connects via a mobile network while traveling, their device may switch between wireless access points. Since each access point assigns a different IP address, the user’s WAN IP changes with each transition. TraceMyIP tracking algorithms detect these IP address changes and notify users when a visitor switches IPs. The generated reports clearly document each change, allowing users to monitor visitor IP transitions effectively.
Another unique and important feature of the system is its ability to automatically filter ghost connections and bot activity. Ghost connections include incomplete or bot-like connections that can distort website analytics. TraceMyIP filters these connections, ensuring accurate website access statistics. This prevents inflated reports that misrepresent actual human activity. With TraceMyIP‘s visitor tracking engine, users receive a more precise distinction between human visitors and bots. This is crucial, as in many cases, over 60% of all incoming connections originate from data scrapers and search engine bots.
A complete set of EU GDPR compliance tools allows webmasters to customize data capture policies and adhere to local regulations regarding website visitor information.
Combining all these features with TraceMyIP‘s ability to track up to 95 websites under a single account makes it a powerful yet user-friendly tool for obtaining essential visitor and IP address insights.
