Spam filter
The spam filter has been updated to give you more control over how spam is identified and processed. You can set the spam level and set the system to either delete spam or tag emails as spam in the email subject line.

Content distribution network (CDN)
To enable the content distribution network, edit your website, click the settings button and then click the advanced settings link on the left side of the page. With a CDN, website images/files are cached on many different servers all over the internet (world wide). When a visitor comes to the website, they will download website files/images from the server that is closest to their own physical location. Because files are loading from servers located close to the visitor, the website should load faster. It is not guaranteed to load faster, but it most cases it should once the image files are cached on the CDN server.
