As a senior CMS website operation personnel, I know that a clear and easy-to-understand URL structure is crucial for the website's search engine optimization (SEO) and user experience. Anqi CMS provides powerful pseudo-static functions, allowing us to flexibly customize URL paths according to our needs, which is very important for single-page (pageThe optimization of）is particularly important.

Understand the pseudo-static URL in the AnQi CMS.

Pseudo-static URL, as the name implies, looks like a static HTML file, but the actual content is dynamically generated by the backend.Compared to dynamic URLs that include question marks and complex parameters, pseudo-static URLs are more readable and easier for search engines to crawl and understand.In AnQi CMS, the system is built with multiple sets of pseudo-static rules, and it also allows for high levels of customization to meet specific SEO strategies or brand needs.

For a single-page, such as “About Us”, “Contact Us”, or “Terms of Service”, etc., we usually hope that their URLs are concise and clear, directly reflecting the content of the page, rather than a series of irregular numbers or system internal identifiers. A good single-page URL, likehttps://www.yourdomain.com/about-us.htmlNot only is it beneficial for users to remember and share, but it also clearly communicates the page theme to search engines.

Enable single-page custom pseudo-static URL paths.

To set a custom pseudo-static URL path for a single page in Anqi CMS, we need to complete two core steps: first, define the URL structure of the single page in the global pseudo-static rules, and then specify the unique URL alias for each specific single page.

Please log in to the backend management interface of AnQi CMS.Find and click the 'Static Rules' option under 'Feature Management' in the left navigation menu.This is the core area where you manage the URL structure of your website.

After entering the "Static RulesThese preset patterns can quickly apply common URL structures.However, in order to achieve complete customization of a single page, we need to select the "custom mode".Click to switch to "Custom Mode" and you will see a text box that lists multiple rules, each corresponding to different types of pages, such as document details, document lists, model home pages, etc.

Please find the rules related to single-page, which are usually in this formatpage===/{filename}.html. This rule is the key to defining the URL structure of a single-page.{filename}is a placeholder, it will be replaced by each unique URL alias specific to the single page in the actual URL.

You can modify this rule according to your needs. For example, if you want the URL of a single page to be direct,域名/文件名.htmlthenpage===/{filename}.htmlThis rule is already in effect. If you want the single-page URL to include a parent directory, for example域名/company/文件名.html, you can change it topage===/company/{filename}.html.

When customizing rules, you can flexibly use the variables provided by the system. In addition,{filename}common variables include{id}(Single page ID). But usually, for single pages that want to build friendly URLs with custom names,{filename}is the most commonly used and recommended choice. Please ensure that the rules you modify comply with the URL naming conventions and are easy to understand and manage.

After modifying the pseudo-static rule, please make sure to click the save button to ensure that your global settings take effect.

Configure a single page's custom URL

Defined the global single-page pseudo-static rules, and then proceed to set the custom URL path for each specific single page.

Please click on the 'Page Management' option under 'Page Resources' in the backend management menu. Here, you can view and manage all single pages on your website.

Whether you are creating a new single page or editing an existing single page, you will find a field named "Custom URL" in the page editing interface.This field is used to specify the alias that will be used in the URL for the current single-page application.

By default, the security CMS will automatically generate a custom URL based on the pinyin of the single page name you enter.For example, if the page name is "About UsThis auto-generated value is editable, you can modify it according to your brand requirements or SEO strategy.For example, you can change it to “about-us” or “our-story”.

It is especially important to note that the value you enter in the "Custom URL" field must be unique throughout the entire website.If there are duplicates, the system will automatically add random numbers at the end to ensure uniqueness.An concise, meaningful and unique custom URL will be the 'facade' of this single page in front of search engines and users.

After completing the editing of single-page content and setting the custom URL, please click the save button on the page.At this time, your single page will generate a new static URL based on the structure you defined in the global pseudo-static rules, combined with the alias you entered in 'Custom URL'.page===/{filename}.html, and you set the custom URL of a page to "about-us", then the final access path of the page will behttps://www.yourdomain.com/about-us.html.

Important practical suggestions

When setting and managing single-page pseudo-static URLs, there are some important practice recommendations that you should pay attention to.

Firstly, the uniqueness of the URL is crucial.Ensure that the URL of each page is unique to avoid content duplication or confusion for search engine crawling.Once the URL is set and launched, it should be avoided to change it arbitrarily.Frequent URL changes may cause problems with search engine indexing and may affect users' bookmarks and external links.If indeed a change is necessary, please make sure to use the 301 redirect feature provided by the security CMS to permanently redirect the old URL to the new URL to retain the original SEO weight.

In addition, it is recommended that you use English lowercase letters when setting a custom URL, separate words with hyphens “-”, and avoid using special characters or spaces.This format is the most friendly to search engines and the most in line with international common standards for URL structure.

Through the above steps and suggestions, you can fully utilize the pseudo-static feature of the Anqi CMS, to create clear, search engine friendly, and easy-to-manage URL paths for your single-page, thus enhancing the overall SEO performance and user experience of your website.
