A plugin that detects the device used by visitors and provides functions and shortcodes to display (or not) content based on said devices.
As of April 2026, SS Device Detector is a WordPress RESS plugin with 10 active installations and a 0/5 rating0. It has been downloaded 1.7K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 3.2+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2014. Last updated 11 years ago — may have compatibility concerns.
The purpose of the plugin is to help both WordPress users and developers with shortcodes and function respectively, to implement a server side responsive solution for their theme.
The difference is substantial compared to solutions like display:none. When using the “display” CSS instruction on, let’s say, an image, the browser actually downloads the entire image and then it hides it. With this solution the image is no longer downloaded.
SS comes from ‘server-side’.
