What are the uses and naming restrictions for a single-page custom URL (alias)?

As an experienced AnQi CMS website operator, I know that every detail can affect the overall performance of the website.In content management, a custom URL for a single page, which is what we usually call an "alias", is a seemingly simple feature with profound implications.It is not just a change in the page address, but also a key aspect of website SEO strategy, user experience, and brand image construction.

The purpose of custom URL (alias)

The custom URL feature provides great flexibility for single-page in Anqi CMS, its core value is reflected in the following aspects:

Firstly, in terms of Search Engine Optimization (SEO), custom URLs play a crucial role.A URL that includes the core keywords of the page, is well-readable, and can effectively help search engine spiders understand the theme of the page content, thus potentially obtaining better crawling and ranking opportunities./page/1is modified to/about-usIt clearly communicates to search engines that this is a page about "us" and also increases the weight of keywords.The AnQi CMS project itself emphasizes SEO-friendliness, and custom URLs are a specific manifestation of this advantage, which can improve the crawling and ranking of search engines.

Secondly, custom URLs significantly improved user experience.For website visitors, a concise, intuitive, and meaningful URL is easier to remember and identify.Users can predict the content of the page without clicking on the link, which enhances their sense of trust and navigation efficiency.When a user needs to share a page, a semantically meaningful URL is more attractive than a string of meaningless numbers, and it is also easier to spread by word of mouth.

Again, custom URLs help maintain the brand image and overall consistency of a website.By adopting a unified naming convention and style for all single pages, articles, categories, and other content, the website can demonstrate higher professionalism and consistency, which is crucial for building strong brand recognition.

Finally, the custom URL is closely integrated with the pseudo-static function of AnQi CMS. It does not exist independently, but requires the website backend to enable the inclusion of{filename}The pseudo-static rule of the variable can take effect.This means that a custom URL is part of the website routing logic, ensuring that content can be displayed and accessed efficiently through elegant, customizable paths.

Custom URL (alias) naming restrictions

Although custom URLs provide many conveniences, they also need to follow certain rules and restrictions when naming to ensure their correctness and validity:

The core restriction is:Website uniqueness.In Anqi CMS, whether it is a single page, article, category, or tag, the custom URL set must be unique throughout the entire website.This means you cannot set the same alias for two different content items.about-us-1)，to ensure its uniqueness.Therefore, when planning a custom URL, it is recommended to think in advance and use a unique name to avoid the system automatically appending a suffix, which may affect the simplicity of the URL.

In terms of character composition, the naming of custom URLs is usuallyonly supports letters, numbers, and underscores.The AnQi CMS design takes into account URL compatibility and standardization, and will automatically filter out most special characters and spaces.guan-yu-wo-men），but as an operations manager, I strongly recommend manually reviewing and optimizing these automatically generated aliases. You can replace long pinyin with more recognizable or marketing-oriented English words (for example, replacingguan-yu-wo-menOptimized toabout-usIt is important that custom URLs do not contain spaces, as this will cause link parsing errors and prevent the page from being accessed normally.
