Security and Performance: Keeping Your Files Safe and Fast
Security is paramount. Effortless File Lister Pro includes robust features to protect your files. Access control lets you define who can view or download specific files. User permissions manage what each user role can do within the file lists. This prevents unauthorized access. The plugin uses secure methods to prevent direct access to files, reducing download vulnerabilities.
Performance matters. The plugin’s code is optimized for speed. It uses efficient methods to list and manage files, resulting in quick loading times. File listings are designed to minimize the impact on your website’s overall performance. We conduct ongoing security reviews to identify and address potential vulnerabilities, ensuring that your website and data remain secure. Measures are taken to protect against common web threats, like cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection.
