Want to redirect visitors by country, show different content by location, or display geo-targeted popups on your WordPress site? GeoSwap makes it simple. One script tag is all it takes.

No plugin needed — one script tag is all it takes

Works with every theme and page builder

Zero impact on your WordPress performance

Why Not a WordPress Plugin?

Most WordPress geo-targeting tools come as plugins. That sounds convenient, but plugins create real problems for site performance and reliability.

Plugins add PHP overhead

Every plugin runs PHP code on every page load. Geo-targeting plugins query databases, call external APIs, and add processing time to your server response. That slows down your site for everyone, not just the visitors being targeted.

Plugins break caching

WordPress caching plugins (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, Cloudflare APO) serve static HTML to make your site fast. Geo-targeting plugins need to serve different content per visitor — which means they disable caching or bypass it. You lose the speed gains you worked hard to set up.

Plugins add maintenance burden

Every plugin is another thing to update, another potential security vulnerability, and another point of failure when WordPress or your theme updates. One bad plugin update can break your entire site.

GeoSwap is different

The GeoSwap script loads from our global CDN — not from your WordPress server. It adds zero PHP overhead, works perfectly with every caching plugin, and never needs updating on your end.

Installation Methods

Pick whichever method is most comfortable for you. All three produce the same result.

Option A: Theme Header (Simplest)

This is the quickest way to get started. You paste the script directly into your theme's header file.

Open the Theme Editor

In your WordPress admin, go to Appearance → Theme File Editor.

Open header.php

In the file list on the right, click header.php. This file controls the <head> section of every page on your site.

Paste the script before </head>

Find the closing </head> tag and paste the GeoSwap script just above it.

Save the file

Click Update File. GeoSwap is now active on every page of your WordPress site.

header.phphtml

<!-- Add before </head> in header.php -->
<script
  src="https://cdn.geoswap.co/geoswap.js"
  data-account="YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID"
  defer
></script>
</head>

Theme updates will overwrite this

If you update your WordPress theme, the header.php file gets replaced and you will need to re-add the script. Use Option B or C below if you want something that survives theme updates.

Option B: functions.php (Survives Theme Updates)

Adding the script via functions.php is the WordPress-recommended way to load external scripts. If you use a child theme, this survives parent theme updates.

Go to Appearance → Theme File Editor and open functions.php. Add this code at the bottom of the file:

functions.phpphp

function geoswap_enqueue_script() {
    wp_enqueue_script(
        'geoswap-geo',
        'https://cdn.geoswap.co/geoswap.js',
        array(),
        null,
        false // Load in <head>, not footer
    );
    wp_script_add_data('geoswap-geo', 'defer', true);
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'geoswap_enqueue_script');

// Add the data-account attribute to the script tag
function geoswap_script_attributes($tag, $handle, $src) {
    if ('geoswap-geo' !== $handle) return $tag;
    return str_replace(
        ' src=',
        ' data-account="YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID" src=',
        $tag
    );
}
add_filter('script_loader_tag', 'geoswap_script_attributes', 10, 3);

Replace YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID with your actual Account ID from the GeoSwap dashboard.

Option C: Code Snippets Plugin (No Code Editing)

If you are not comfortable editing theme files, use a free plugin like WPCode or Insert Headers and Footers by WPBeginner. These plugins give you a simple text box where you paste the script — no file editing required.

Install WPCode (or similar)

Go to Plugins → Add New and search for "WPCode". Install and activate it.

Add a new header script

Go to Code Snippets → Header & Footer. Paste the GeoSwap script into the Header section.

Save changes

Click Save Changes. The script is now on every page and survives theme updates.

WPCode Header Sectionhtml

<script src="https://cdn.geoswap.co/geoswap.js" data-account="YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID" defer></script>

Caching Compatibility

Because the GeoSwap script is loaded from our CDN (not from your WordPress server), it works perfectly alongside every WordPress caching plugin. Your cache stays intact. Your pages stay fast.
