- Depending on which / how many provider you want to use latency time for displaying pages are extended. If you include module e.g. only on registration page and/or on contact page all other pages will be displayed faster.
- If you use a Internet site with multi-language support you may define multiple Frontend modules with a a language specific redirection page.
- With this plugin you may lock specific pages from being displayed (in your intranet) using the BlackList or allow only specific visitors to see these pages using WhiteList.
- You may use SpamBot-Mail in any form of your choice. Please don't forget to include modul at top of your page and in your Forms to configure the Inputfield E-Mail with the Configuration check for E-Mails.
