As an experienced AnQiCMS website operation personnel, I know that optimizing the website's performance in search engines is crucial for attracting and retaining users.Among them, static URLs and 301 redirects are indispensable SEO strategies.AnQiCMS as an enterprise-level content management system, provides powerful and flexible configuration capabilities in these aspects, which can help us build a website that is friendly to both search engines and users.
Configure AnQiCMS's pseudo static URL
The pseudo-static URL is a dynamic parameterized URL (such aswww.example.com/index.php?id=123&category=news) converted to look like a static file path URL (such aswww.example.com/news/123.htmlThe art of ）.This optimization is very beneficial for SEO and user experience.Search engines prefer concise and meaningful URLs because they better reflect the content of the page and help with keyword ranking.Users also find it easier to understand and remember pseudo-static URLs, thereby enhancing the usability of the website.
In AnQiCMS, the configuration of pseudo-static rules is concentrated in the "Function Management" menu under the "Pseudo-static Rules" module on the backend.The system has built-in various pseudo-static rule patterns to simplify operations and meet the needs of different types of websites.You can choose the "Number Mode", which mainly uses the content ID as the basis for generating the URL, and is relatively common in Chinese content sites.Additionally, 'Model Naming Pattern' as well as 'Category Naming Pattern1' and 'Category Naming Pattern2' tend to integrate content model names or category names into URLs, which is particularly applicable to multilingual sites or sites that require English URL structures.Select these built-in modes, and AnQiCMS will automatically handle the URL generation logic, greatly reducing our configuration burden.
However, for those websites that have specific SEO strategies, branding needs, or require more complex path combinations for URLs, AnQiCMS provides a powerful 'custom mode'.This is an advanced configuration option that allows us to finely define pseudo-static rules for six different page types: document detail page, document list page, model homepage, single page, tag list page, and tag detail page.Each rule follows the format of "rule name===rule value".{id}used to represent data ID,{filename}Used to represent the custom link name of data (e.g., article alias),{catname}Used to represent the custom link name of categories,{catid}Used to represent the category ID,{module}Used to represent the table name of the model,{page}Used to represent page numbers for pagination. For example, you can set the rules for the document detail page asarchive==="/{module}/{filename}.html"to generate such/article/my-latest-post.htmlThis clean, descriptive URL.Custom mode provides unparalleled flexibility, but it requires us to be meticulous and precise in configuration to avoid issues such as inaccessible pages or link errors.
implement 301 redirect management
In AnQiCMS, the management function of 301 redirection is integrated in the '301 Redirect Management' module under the 'Feature Management' menu.This module provides an intuitive interface that allows us to easily set redirects for individual URLs or in bulk through rules.We only need to specify an old source URL (Source URL) and a new destination URL (Destination URL), and the system will automatically execute a 301 redirect when the old URL is requested.
As website operators, we will use 301 redirects in various scenarios.For example, when an old article is updated and published to a new URL, or when we merge multiple similar content pages into a more comprehensive page, we should set up a 301 redirect to direct the traffic and authority of the old page to the new page.In addition, if your website is changing domains or needs to permanently redirect an HTTP version of the website to HTTPS, the 301 redirect is an indispensable tool.
