If you're using some external geo locating site then that's a fopen url with every page grab. More resource wasting and if that site goes down your site will either slow down or not even load. Having allow_fopen_url open is also a potential security risk.
Agree totally mate. I did not mean to use the external database rather its available to download and create one locally.
