> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

When setting up chat on a website, you can use any combination of the available [Chat web parts](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/community-features/chat/setting-up-chat-on-site/chat-web-parts.md) that you can group together.

The most basic web part combinations include [single page mode](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/community-features/chat/setting-up-chat-on-site/setting-up-chat-in-single-page-mode.md), where you place all components on one page, and [redirection mode](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/community-features/chat/setting-up-chat-on-site/setting-up-chat-in-redirection-mode.md), which allows you to put chat components on multiple pages.

Alternatively, choose one of the following:

- [Set up a standard, non-customized chat on the site](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/community-features/chat/chat-quick-start.md)
- [See what the live site chat components look like](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/community-features/chat/using-chat-on-the-live-site.md)

## Configuring flood protection for Chat

Flood protection prevents the users and spam bots from abusing the chat functionality. Flood protection sets time intervals which have to pass before a user can perform certain actions repeatedly. You can, for example, set how quickly a user can send messages one after another.

You can find the settings in **Settings -> Community -> Chat -> Flood protection**. To learn more about flood protection in Kentico, see [Flood protection](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/securing-websites/designing-secure-websites/securing-and-protecting-the-system/flood-protection.md).
