Why it is important to add age verification to site

There may be several reasons to add age verification to your WordPress site such as,

  • And many more.

If any of these reasons exist on your site, then you should add age verification system on your site so that when visitors access the content, they will need to verify the age.

How to Add Age Verification on WordPress Site

First, you need to install and activate the Age Gate plugin on your site. This is the best WordPress Age Verification Plugin which allows you to set restrictions based on age on your WordPress site.

In this page, you can set a minimum age verification according to your need. After this, you can apply age verification restriction to the entire website or only on a specific page.

Its “Varied ages” option allows you to add a different age to different posts and pages on your website.

The plugin adds three options to display age verification,
