QSM – Daily Limit

QSM – Daily Limit

For website owners managing quiz participation or survey submissions, QSM – Daily Limit introduces essential control by restricting how many times a user or IP address can submit quizzes per day. This functionality is crucial for maintaining data integrity, reducing spam, and managing server resources.

The plugin hooks into Quiz and Survey Master’s submission process using PHP and AJAX to check current daily counts against set limits before allowing quiz completion. It supports limits based on user accounts, cookies, and IP addresses, providing flexible control for both logged-in and guest users.

Administrators can define limits globally or per quiz, specifying maximum daily attempts. Notifications inform users when limits are reached, which can be customized for tone and style, ensuring a clear and polite user experience.

Technical implementation includes efficient database queries for counting submissions and caching to prevent performance degradation on high-traffic sites. The plugin also integrates with WordPress’s native user roles and capabilities to allow administrators and editors to bypass limits if necessary.

From a security perspective, it prevents abuse through multiple vectors, including shared IPs or devices, and supports GDPR compliance by managing personal data responsibly. Reporting features offer insight into usage patterns and enforcement effectiveness.

In summary, QSM – Daily Limit is a vital add-on for any site that needs to regulate quiz participation, protect data quality, and maintain fair use without compromising user experience.
