Complete Personalisation Toolkit

PersonalizeWP includes everything you need to personalize your WordPress site:

Display Conditions Control exactly who sees your content with rules based on device type, location, time, user behavior, and dozens of other conditions. Combine multiple rules with AND/OR logic for precise targeting.

Visitor Profiles Automatically build comprehensive profiles for each visitor, tracking their journey through your site, pages visited, forms completed, and engagement levels.

Custom Profile Fields Capture and store specific visitor information through forms and interactions, then use this data to trigger personalized content throughout your site.

Content Variations Create multiple versions of any content block and automatically show the right version to each visitor based on their profile or behavior.

Segments Group visitors with similar characteristics or behaviors into segments for scalable personalization across your entire site.

Lead Scoring Automatically assign scores to visitor actions to identify your most engaged prospects and trigger appropriate content or offers.

REST API Access visitor data programmatically with our REST API endpoints. Build custom features like recently viewed products, personalized recommendations, or dynamic content based on visitor activities and segments.

Product Collection Block Display personalized product recommendations with our WooCommerce Product Collection block. Show « Previously Viewed Products » or « Products For You » without any manual configuration.

FAQ

What is PersonalizeWP?

PersonalizeWP is a comprehensive WordPress personalization plugin that lets you show different content to different visitors based on their behavior, characteristics, and context. Built by Filter, it brings enterprise-level personalization features to WordPress sites of all sizes.

Do I need coding skills to use PersonalizeWP?

No coding required. PersonalizeWP integrates directly with the WordPress Block Editor. Simply select any block, choose your personalization rules from the sidebar, and decide whether to show or hide content when those rules match.

Does it work with page caching?

Yes. PersonalizeWP is specifically designed to work with cached sites, including popular caching plugins and CDN services like Cloudflare. Your personalized content displays correctly without affecting site performance.

Can I track how visitors interact with my site?

Yes. PersonalizeWP automatically builds visitor profiles that track page views, form submissions, time on site, and other interactions. You can also add custom profile fields to capture specific information relevant to your business.

Can I use it with WooCommerce?

Absolutely. PersonalizeWP includes deep WooCommerce integration with rules for cart contents, purchase history, customer lifetime value, and more. Plus, our Product Collection block makes it easy to show personalized product recommendations.

What’s the difference between segments and rules?
