When moving a hosting website building platform, articles can be exported, but why do we need to rebuild the pages?

📅 2026-11-01 👁️ 0

When moving a hosting website platform, why do the pages need to be rebuilt again? Because what is exported is data, not layout. Articles and similar content have stable fields such as title, body, publication time, and tags, which can fall directly into the document table of the new system; while home pages and event pages rely on the platform's own blocks and styles for assembly, and this assembly rule is not in the data, the new system cannot read it, and can only be remade.

What part is exported?

Judging from the exported file. It is common for compressed packages to contain article lists and resource files, with complete fields and stable structures, which can be directly entered into the batch import process. Exporting in table form is more organized, with field names matching, suitable for scenarios where data needs to be cleaned before being imported into the database.

Three types of things that cannot be taken should be listed in advance: page layout and block configurations, platform-built forms and reservation components, and style themes that only take effect on the original platform. These three types are not within the scope of data export and belong to the parts that need to be redone for the new site.

Why does the page need to be rebuilt?

The platform's page editor and the open content system's template are two different things. The former stores the layout in a private structure, which is only valid in its own renderer; the latter describes the page through template files and content models. When moving, only the content reference relationship can be taken away, not the rendering implementation, so the workload of the page needs to be estimated according to the template, not by the number of pages copied.

The homepage and conversion landing pages should be remade first, as they determine the visitor's first impression and leads; pages like the archive list, which are automatically generated by the system, do not need to be manually moved, just set up the categories.

Which two channels do the article batch import go through?

One is the file channel: ZIP compression packages are suitable for moving text and images as a whole, Excel spreadsheets are suitable for cleaning fields, deduplication, and categorization in the table first, and then entering the database all at once. The two channels solve different scenarios, with large quantities and media mostly going through compression packages, and fields need to be organized in tables first.

The other is the interface channel: The content import interface provides import and archive actions, and supports querying whether the title already exists. The most feared thing about moving is breaking in the middle and repeatedly filling in, so when resuming the transfer, check the existence of the title first, skip the part that has already been entered, and run the whole batch safely.

When will the redirect from the old address be implemented?

It's too late to add the redirect on the day of domain switching. Before going live, organize the mapping between the old and new addresses, use 301 redirects to converge the historical URLs to the new address, and then let the site map reflect the final form; if the order of redirect and map is reversed, the addresses captured will be a bunch of contradictory ones.

The historical links and old paths of external links that cannot be changed are all supported by this level of redirection. In the days after going live, monitor the failed requests and add the unmapped relationships to the redirect rules.

Common questions

Can I just move the articles and not the pages?Can, use the system default column page on the new site first, rebuild the page and put it in the second batch, don't let it block the content from going online.

How to continue if the import fails in the middle?Skip the parts already in the database and continue from the batch that hasn't entered when searching for existence by title.

Can the images on the original platform still be used?Take away what you can, and for the parts you can't take away, you need to confirm the authorization first, and then decide whether to replace them.

The memory baseline of self-hosted programs is written in the deployment document, how to pick the content system for low-end servers

The memory baseline in the deployment document is a hard requirement for selecting low-end servers: The public threshold of mainstream self-hosted programs is usually hundreds of MB to 1GB or more. When the baseline is higher than the machine's surplus, upgrading the host is more likely to happen earlier than changing the architecture. In the low-end environment, pick in the order of resident memory first, then dependent components, and finally deployment methods.

After the AI entry file goes online, the number of references has not increased, first distinguish between the two steps of crawlable and citable references

The entry file (llms.txt) for large model sites solves the issues of discoverability and navigation, and has a low adoption rate: Only 10.13% of the nearly 300,000 domain samples have this file, and it does not affect how the AI system sees or references content. The normal increase in references after launch should focus on verifying the writing style of the sections that can be referenced and the accessibility of crawling.

The robots file has been changed, but the crawling log has not changed, first check whether it takes effect or check the writing method.

After modifying the robots file, the crawl log did not change. First, check the effectiveness and then check the syntax: confirm whether the changes have really been read, how much latency there is between caching and the crawler, and then see if the scope of the instructions is too small or omitted. At the same time, distinguish between crawl control and content anti-crawling, interference codes belong to the content layer, and the difference in crawling can't be seen naturally after modifying robots.

The site map entries are almost at the limit, how to arrange the submission order after splitting into index files?

The single sitemap file is constrained by both the number of entries and volume limits, and it should be split once either limit is reached. After splitting, use the index file to summarize multiple slices, and only the index file needs to be submitted when submitting, without submitting each slice individually. The order is to first generate and make the slices accessible independently, then attach them to the index file, and finally clarify the division of labor between the proactive push of new content and the sitemap, to avoid duplicate submissions and disruption of crawling.

When the week of the major version release and the discontinuation of old branches fall on the same day, which step should the site take first?

When the major version release of an open-source content system and the discontinuation of old branches fall on the same day, the site should first do is to apply the current security patches and perform backup rollback drills, rather than rushing to go online. The major version change affects the compatibility of templates and extensions, while the discontinuation affects the patch supply, with different risk rhythms; schedule the upgrade window of the content system itself into the same table to avoid gaps where no one is responsible.

If the front-end query conditions are not parameter-bound, it will be dragged into the database. Which item on the upgrade list should be pre-checked.

When using string concatenation for front-end query conditions without parameter binding, the values entered by the visitor can change the SQL semantics, which is the root of injection problems. When checking the upgrade log, first determine whether the fix is for injection surface: query conditions and sorting parameters take priority, followed by filtering enhancement. The content system itself has fixed list sorting parameter injection in v3.6.6, built-in SQL injection and XSS protection belong to the system level, and sensitive word filtering belongs to the content level.

The back-end user field is missing a whitelist to change to password hash, where should the permission be collected in that layer.

If the quick change value interface of the back-end does not limit the writable fields, visitors can direct the submitted fields to sensitive columns such as password hash, which is equivalent to bypassing login to obtain identity directly. Permissions should be collected in three places: the list of changeable fields, group authorization and write verification, and hiding the entrance on the interface does not count as collecting. Password storage and session mechanisms should be matched, and content layer sensitive word filtering and review belong to another layer.

After AI abstracts consume most of the clicks, what indicators should the enterprise site pay attention to?

When AI abstracts appear, the click-through rate of traditional results decreases significantly. At this time, the enterprise station should not focus on total traffic, but on three indicators: brand word search volume and direct visits, visitor quality brought by AI citations, and the conversion rate of inquiries and leads. AnQiCMS's keyword library is maintained by question, and is supported by LLMs.txt and AI writing capabilities, so that each group of data has a verifiable source.
