As a senior CMS website operation personnel, I know that a flexible and SEO-friendly URL structure is crucial for the success of a website.AutoCMS provides strong support in this aspect, especially for the custom URL alias feature for document classification, which greatly enhances the website's SEO performance and user experience.

Support and Function of Custom Document Classification URL Alias

English CMS as an enterprise-level content management system developed in Go language, took full consideration of SEO friendliness from the very beginning.Among them, providing URL alias support for content models such as articles, products, and categories is one of the core highlights.The URL alias for document classification, as the name implies, it is to set a custom, descriptive URL path for each classification of the website.

The core value of this feature is reflected in many aspects.Firstly, it makes the URL structure of the website clearer and more understandable, allowing users and search engines to intuitively understand the content of the page, thereby improving the willingness of users to click and the efficiency of search engine crawling.The custom URL alias with keywords helps improve the relevance of keywords on the page, thus enhancing search engine rankings.Moreover, when the internal structure or category names of a website change, custom URL aliases can be uniformly managed through pseudo-static rules, combined with the 301 redirect function, effectively avoiding dead link issues and ensuring the stability of website traffic.

Enable Custom URL Alias Mechanism

The custom URL alias feature of Anqi CMS is implemented through its pseudo-static rule system.The website administrator can flexibly configure the pseudo-static rules in the background to define the URL display format of different types of pages.For document classification, the system provides special variable placeholders that allow administrators to introduce custom aliases for categories in the URL structure.

To make the custom URL alias effective, the pseudo-static rules of the website must include the corresponding category variables. For example, the rule can include{catname}(Custom category link name) or{catid}(Category ID) placeholders.By these placeholders, the Safe CMS can dynamically generate the final URL path based on the alias or ID set for each category in the backend.This mechanism ensures the structuring, readability, and close association with the content of the URL.

Naming rules and generation method

In the AnQi CMS, the URL alias for document categories can be automatically generated by the system, and also supports manual settings based on user needs.

The system will automatically generate the pinyin as the default URL alias when creating categories based on the category name entered by the user.This automated processing greatly simplifies the work of operations personnel, especially for Chinese classification names, avoiding the cumbersome process of manually converting to pinyin.The generated alias is usually a combination of lowercase letters and hyphens, which conforms to URL standards and has certain readability.

Although there is an auto-generation feature, the Anqi CMS also provides the option to manually input custom aliases.This gives the operations personnel greater flexibility to set more accurate and attractive aliases for categories based on SEO strategies, brand needs, or specific semantics.For example, a category named "Company News" may automatically generate "gong-si-xin-wen

No matter what generation method is used, the security CMS has strict naming rules and uniqueness requirements for URL aliases.The custom URL alias must be unique across the entire website to avoid URL conflicts and potential SEO issues.If the alias manually set by the user duplicates an existing alias, the system will automatically append a random number to the alias to ensure its uniqueness.In terms of character limits, although the document does not explicitly list all allowed characters for category aliases, by referring to the model alias (which only supports lowercase English letters) and label alias (which can only contain letters, numbers, and underscores, and cannot include spaces), it can be inferred that category aliases should follow a similar specification, namely, it is recommended to use lowercase English letters, numbers, and underscores, and avoid using special symbols and spaces to ensure the compatibility and stability of URLs.

The application in pseudo-static rules

The backend of AnQi CMS provides the '伪静态规则' management feature, allowing administrators to select built-in pseudo-static modes or custom rules.In the custom mode, operators can use the aforementioned variables to construct the URL structure of the classification page.

For example, you can configure pseudo-static rules such as the following:category===/{module}/{catname}(-{page}). The meaning of this rule is that the URL of the category page will be determined by the "model URL alias"{module}）、“Category Custom Link Name”（{catname}）as well as the optional “Page Number”（(-{page})）组成。Through such configuration, a product model with a category named "Latest Product/product/latest-products.htmlor/product/latest-products-2.html（Page 2）. This combination allows the URL to include both model information and classification information, with a clear hierarchy and is very friendly to search engines and users.

Summary

The auto CMS provides powerful SEO optimization tools for website operators through fine-grained URL alias management.Whether it is an automatically generated pinyin alias or flexible manual customization, with strict uniqueness verification and configurable pseudo-static rules, all of these ensure that the website can have a clear structure, explicit semantics, and SEO-friendly URLs.This not only helps to improve the visibility of the website in search results, but also brings a better browsing experience to users.
