At one point or another, you've probably wondered how you could allow access from certain pages or domains and block access from all others.
In other words, how to check the URLs of previous pages among users coming to the current page and allow or block them. Implementing such features requires the help of a developer, forcing risky changes to the web server's settings, or time-consuming coding each time.
In Vivoldi, we provide these features with a simple setup that anyone can use.
Being able to check the URL of a previous page when a user enters the current page opens up a wide range of strategies for running a website.
Benefits of making links accessible only through specific pages
For example, on your website, you have a page that customers see after they order an item or complete a checkout. From this page, you might want to direct them to a page with a special offer for them. In this case, you can only allow the URL of the page that the user sees after the checkout is complete, and block link access from all other pages, including direct access through a web browser.
This is effective when used in conjunction with the web browser's address bar hiding feature when navigating to a long URL, which is one of the features provided by Vivoldi, as the user will not know the original long URL.
Another benefit is that you can see the number of clicks on links through a specific domain or page - all other pages or direct accesses are blocked, so the number of clicks does not increase, allowing for accurate statistics.
