Administration: Modules

Sitefinity CMS provides you with a number of configuration settings to manage modules. For example, to save memory, you can disable certain modules or services that you do not use for your website. The less modules and services load – the faster the startup times.

You can also configure SEO settings, such as automatic generation of Meta keywords, Meta description, and Meta title tags. 

In addition, you can also configure text field settings in your modules, such as to enable character counting functionality or to add trimming spaces in a text field.

    Sitefinity CMS SEO automation functionality dynamically generates page URL and title when content is rendered in detailed mode. The Meta keywords and Meta description tags inside the page HTML are taken from the Page SEO settings and stay the same for all dynamic content displayed on the page.
  • Add characters counter of the text fields
    Use this procedure to add character counters to text fields. When you have a counter on a text field, the counter shows the length of the entered text while you type. You can also specify the number of the recommended characters count.
