## Descripción

**Device Detector** is a full featured analytics reporting and management tool that
detects all devices accessing your WordPress site.

For each call made to your site, **Device Detector** analyzes the sent header, detects
the device doing the call (and its characteristics) and can:

 * modify the `is_mobile()` WordPress core function to be more precise and reliable;
 * add some CSS classes to the `body` tag of your site (many classes to choose from);
 * let you use the result of the detection in your own developments;
 * record detected characteristics for reporting.

**Device Detector** can report the following main items and characteristics:

 * KPIs: number of hits, class breakdown, clients types and engines;
 * Classes: Bot, Desktop, Mobile and Other;
 * Devices types: Camera, Car Browser, Console, Feature Phone, Phablet, Portable
   Media Player, Smart Display, Smartphone, Tablet, TV;
 * Client types: Application Library, Browser, Feed Reader, Media Player, Mobile
   Application, PIM.
 * Technical characteristics and versions of all browsers;
 * Device identification: brand, model, etc.;
 * OS identification: name, version, etc.;
 * Calling channel: site backend, site frontend, cron job, Ajax request, XML-RPC
   request, Rest API request, Atom/RDF/RSS feed;

For a full list of items, characteristics and supported devices, please see the ‘
devices’ tab in the plugin settings.

**Device Detector** supports multisite report delegation and per site configuration(
see FAQ).

**Device Detector** supports an extensive set of WP-CLI commands to:

 * get a device detail: see `wp help device describe` for details;
 * display Device Detector status: see `wp help device status` for details;
 * toggle on/off main settings: see `wp help device settings` for details;
 * describe engine capacities: see `wp help device engine` for details;

### 󠀁[Solid, but harms performance](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/solid-but-harms-performance/)󠁿

 [sgpro](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sgpro/) 7 de Octubre de 2024

This plugin is solid, but ‘device-detector/includes/libraries/spyc/Spyc.php’ and
related methods/functions under this script leaves a considerable performance penalty
when installed on our site. It is a promising plugin, but it’s likely not as battle-
tested as it should.
