            • Define Syndication Feeds
              Syndication feeds give users the ability to subscribe to changes within Salesforce Sites and receive updates in external news readers. Simply by defining a SOQL query and mapping, you can syndicate changes to public data to your end users. You can create one or more syndication feeds for your organization's public sites or any Visualforce page. The syndication feed displays the records specified by a SOQL query. Users can subscribe to the feed and view the feed when they visit the site or page.
            • Manage Salesforce Sites Login and Registration Settings
              Let users register for and log in to your portal from your public Salesforce Site. For example, users browsing through an ideas site can register and login directly from that site. Then, as authenticated users, those users can vote, add comments, and participate in the ideas community. When users successfully log in, they leave the public site and enter the associated portal seamlessly.
            • Public Access Settings for Salesforce Sites
              Control what public users can do on each Salesforce Sites site.
            • Salesforce Sites URL Redirects
              If you move or reorganize pages on your Salesforce Site, search engines can have trouble finding the new page locations. To avoid this issue, set up site URL redirects to inform users and search engines that site content has moved.
            • Associate a Portal with Salesforce Sites
              Allow your users to register for or log into an associated portal from your site
            • Manage Salesforce Site Visualforce Pages
              Salesforce Sites use Visualforce pages for all site and error pages. To expose a Visualforce page on your site, enable that page for your site.
            • Manage Salesforce Sites Standard Pages
              Control the standard pages users see for your site. Salesforce Sites uses Visualforce pages for all site and error pages. Lightning Platform also provides some standard pages that you can use. Before you can use a page for your site, enable the page for the site. If a page isn’t listed under Site Standard Pages, Salesforce displays an authorization required error.
            • Assign Salesforce Site Error Pages
              Salesforce sites use Visualforce pages for site and error pages. Sample error pages use the SiteSamples static resource for their style sheet and images.
