Sitecore Analytics Testing Tools Extension

The Sitecore Analytics Testing Tools Chrome extension provides Sitecore Marketers and Developers with the ability to \"spoof\" their IP address. This is useful for testing features that rely on the visitor's GeoIP location, such as Personalization. Additionally, the extension provides the ability to clear Sitecore-specific cookies. By clicking \"New Contact\", Sitecore treats you as a first time visitor, whereas, clicking \"New Visit\" clears your current session and is the equivalent to a repeat visit.

Abhishek Shrivastava (ID: 00000024a4e42409) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/17/2017 This is a fantastic tool to test Analytics testing, specially when testing with Maxmind data. I used this tool to create a new profile with X-Forwarded-For set to input IP as was expected by Maxmind service. Once the profile was selected, I click "New Visit" and magically the page is loaded with the X-Forwarded-IP header set to IP of the profile I had configured. Simply perfect!

Mark Knight (ID: 0000000d1f13fe91) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/15/2016 A really great yet simple tool for testing GEOIP. Add an IP address from a country of interest (just Google : IP Address Add it as a profile in the extension. Select to view as new contact and the web page reloads as if from that country. As a Sitecore perzonalisation user, i have been looking for such a solution for a long time.
