Waste of space sadly, it gets it so wrong as it's basing it on DNS and not IP for the A record. So ALL my sites it incorrectly guesses because the DNS of a lot of UK hosts use incognito DNS, but IP look ups do reveal host which I'd hoped this would use. Removing it and trying something else. Shame.
