Junk emails are comments, pings, and even social media tags that you may receive while operating a website that are off topic, irrelevant, inappropriate, and unwanted. Usually these are robots, not real people who leave comments on your website.

What are the requirements to open an e-commerce store?
If you plan to open your own online store, keep in mind that collecting customer data requires HTTPS. Therefore, make sure to purchase an SSL certificate before launching your website (otherwise, you'll need to redirect HTTP to HTTPS, which can become complicated). You should also consider creating pages for your website's terms of use, privacy policy, and refund policy.
Of course, this does not include the registration documents required for selling products and/or services in your region (country, state, province, etc.).

What is CDN?
CDN stands for Content Delivery Network. CDN stores copies of your website content (especially images, Javascript, and CSS files) and distributes them to your readers using a global network of servers. In this way, when readers visit your website, data will be loaded from the server closest to them. CDN often has very fast response and loading times, with the shortest downtime.

What’s the difference between cache plugins and CDN? Do I need both?
Cache plugins save the HTML version of your site to reduce database requests and speed up your website. A CDN stores and delivers your website assets (images, CSS, Javascript) to improve website speed and reduce bandwidth usage. Neither is mandatory, but for the fastest website, you should use both.

Do I need to use a cache plugin?
You don't need to use a caching plugin, but it can help speed up your website. In fact, if your host already has built-in caching functionality, we recommend skipping caching plugins. Otherwise, it's okay to try WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache (two of the most popular WordPress free caching plugins).
