profile Within this profile you can enable:IP address filters to restrict access to siteAccess to specific Visualforce pages and Apex classesRead, Create, Edit, Delete permissions for each objectVisibility and read/write permissions for each field

A boilerplate “unauthorized” error page is provided - you can modify or override this

Caching

To increase end user performance, Sites uses a content delivery network of 40,000 servers distributed across the globe

Content is served from servers closest to the origin of the request

What’s cached:– Static resources with cache control set to public

– Visualforce pages with pages attribute:

Robots.txt and Favicon Support

Robots.txt is used to control how robots crawl your site

Favicon is a website icon that most modern browsers support

Sites supports these types of files:– Create Robots.txt as a Visualforce page

– Create Favicon.ico as a Static Resource

URL Mapping

Sites fully supports custom domain names, eg: http://www.mycompany.com *

Steps to set this up:Register your domain name with any registrar Enter a CNAME record into the DNS that aliases www.mycompany.com to mycompany.force.com Tell Sites what your custom domain name is

SSL is supported via secure.force.com only Tip: Don’t use fully-qualified domain names in your

pages* Supported in production only, not developer edition or sandbox
