In website operation, user experience is always the core consideration.When visitors click into a document detail page, they expect a smooth, fast and secure content loading experience.AutoCMS (AutoCMS) provides a powerful and flexible API interface, allowing us to carefully design the document loading mechanism of the front-end page, thus significantly enhancing user satisfaction.

Understanding the core:archiveDetailThe power and details of the interface

When we talk about loading document details, the first focus is onarchiveDetailInterface. This is a crucial API that allows us to access documents via their unique ID or a more friendly URL alias (filename）to get all rich information of a document.Imagine that the user comes to an article page via a search engine or an in-site link, and the front end requests article data from the Anqi CMS through this interface.

This interface returns very comprehensive data, not only including document title, SEO information, views, comments, images, and other basic attributes, but also provides detailed classification information (categoryObject), document core content(data.content) as well as any possible custom additional fields(extraObjects). This richness provides great convenience for front-end display, but it also means that we need to handle these data wisely to avoid unnecessary performance overhead.

Optimize API requests, the key strategy to enhance user experience

To achieve a good loading experience for the document detail page, we can optimize API requests and data processing from the following aspects:.

1. Lazy loading and fine-grained rendering

archiveDetailThe interface returns all the document information at once, which means the amount of data that the front-end needs to handle may be large.Although we cannot selectively exclude certain fields at the request time, we can perform intelligent 'on-demand rendering' after receiving the data on the frontend.

  • Avoid redundant processing:In the returned data,archiveDetailIt includes the document itself,data.contentas well ascategoryThe object may also includecategory.contentIf the document detail page only needs to display the article content, there is no need to process and render the detailed content of the category, even if it is in the API response.
  • Lazy loading of images and media:The document often contains a large number of images or other media resources.Even if the API data has returned, the loading of these resources may still block page rendering.Using the front-end lazy loading (Lazy Load) technology, the actual URL of the image is only loaded when it enters the user's field of vision, which can greatly improve the initial loading speed of the page.
  • Structured data, step-by-step rendering:For very long documents, you can consider splitting the document content (data.contentSplit into smaller blocks, such as paragraphs or chapters.On page initial load, only the first screen content is rendered. Subsequent content is loaded and rendered as the user scrolls down.This makes the user feel that the content appears instantly.

II. Smart Preloading and Caching Mechanism

A high-level trick to improve user experience is to 'predict' the next action of the user and prepare the data quietly in the background.

  • Preloading of adjacent documents:AnQi CMS providesarchivePrevandarchiveNextInterface, can get the brief information of the previous and next documents of the current document. When the user is reading the current document, we can use the idle time of the browser to asynchronously request these adjacent documents.archiveDetailData (or at least their titles and links), and cache them.When the user finishes reading, clicking on 'Next Chapter' causes the page to switch almost instantaneously, greatly enhancing the continuity of reading.
  • Using browser cache: archiveDetailAn interface is a GET request, which means its response can be cached by the browser. Properly configure the server-side:Cache-ControlThe head allows the browser to cache document data within a certain time period.For documents that are not frequently updated, users can directly read from the local cache when they visit again, without needing to initiate another API request.
  • Local storage (optional):For some critical, infrequently changing information, consider storing it in the front-end LocalStorage or IndexedDB when the user first visits.Although it is not applicable to all document content, it can effectively reduce duplicate requests for some auxiliary and public data.

三、Ensure Access Security and Content Control

In some scenarios, documents may require password verification or paid purchase. The Safe CMS providesarchivePasswordCheckandarchiveOrderCheckinterfaces to handle these situations.

  • 前置权限验证：English如果文档存在付费或密码限制，我们应该在尝试获取EnglisharchiveDetail之前，先调用EnglisharchivePasswordCheckorarchiveOrderCheckPerform verification.Thus, if the user does not have permission, the password input box or purchase prompt can be displayed immediately, rather than waiting for the document content to fail to load or load only part of it, thereby avoiding unnecessary requests and poor user experience.
  • 条件性加载内容：English只有在EnglisharchivePasswordCheckorarchiveOrderCheckReturn after successarchiveDetailRequest, obtain and display the complete content of the document. This method not only ensures the security of the content but also enables users to receive more timely and explicit feedback when encountering permission issues.

English, user-friendly feedback and error handling

Whether it is an API request or front-end rendering, problems may arise. An excellent website will not leave users facing a blank page or a stiff error message.

  • Loading status indicator:InitiatingarchiveDetailThe page should immediately display a loading animation (such as skeleton screens, Loading Spinners) when requested, to inform the user that the content is loading.This can effectively alleviate the anxiety of users waiting.
  • Clear error message:When the API returnscodeNon-zero (indicating an error), or the network request fails, the front-end page should according tomsg字段显示清晰、友好的错误信息，例如“文档不存在”、“网络连接失败”等，并提供返回上一页或刷新页面的选项，而不是简单地显示一个技术性错误代码。

Five, use URL alias to enhance readability and SEO

archiveDetailInterface supportfilenameParameters, which is different from the traditional document ID (id) compared to, provides better readability and SEO-friendliness for URLs.

  • Build semantic URLs:When designing frontend routing, prioritize using the URL alias of the document to build the link of the document detail page, for exampleyourdomain.com/article/anqicms-tutorialBetter thanyourdomain.com/article?id=123This not only facilitates user understanding and memorization, but is also conducive to the crawling and ranking by search engines.

By combining the above strategies, we can make the document detail page based on the Security CMS achieve a new height in terms of loading speed, interactive smoothness, content security, and overall user experience.

Common Questions (FAQ)

1. My document detail page loads relatively slowly, even though I used the aforementioned API, is it a problem with my frontend code?In addition to the API request itself, front-end code optimization is also important.Check if your frontend has large JavaScript files, unoptimized images, complex DOM structures, or render-blocking CSS.Ensure that you have compressed the images and used CDN to accelerate static resources.At the same time, the response speed of the server and the network bandwidth are also important factors affecting the loading experience. If the backend server response time is long, no matter how much optimization the front-end does, it may still seem like a drop in the bucket.

2. I want to display the 'You May Also Like' or 'Related Articles' module at the bottom of the document detail page, which API should I use?You can usearchiveListinterface to implement this function. In the requestarchiveListwhen, the current document is passed inmodule_idandcategory_id, and you can settype="related", so you can get the list of articles associated with the current document.
