The advanced options help to further customize your sites appearance and uniqueness. Please feel free to add upon this tutorial if you think some things need a better explanation.
Most of the options are self explanatory but there are some options that need further explanation. We will explain in more detail of what these options are and what they do. Let’s start at the top, Website Advanced Setup;
Site Cache: This setting with help your site load faster by caching some content. Recommended setting is 5min. If you are making other changes on the site configurator you should change this to no cache then after you are done with other settings change it back.
External Links: Pretty self explanatory. As part of making this site SEO friendly the script is highly customized and a lot of hard work has gone into making it XHTML valid. If you leave this setting to open the links on the same page you site will validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict, if you select open links in a new page your site will validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
