Operation suggestion:For most websites, enabling this feature is a wise choice, as it can effectively improve the stability and loading speed of the website.If you used a professional third-party CDN (Content Delivery Network) service to host images, and the remote image source is already very stable, then you can choose whether to enable it according to the actual situation to avoid duplicate storage and traffic consumption.

II. Intelligent filtering of external links: Protect SEO weight and enhance user trust

Content with external links, like a double-edged sword.Moderate external links can enhance the authority and credibility of content, but excessive inappropriate external links may dilute the SEO weight of your website (commonly known as 'link weight loss'), and even lead users to visit low-quality or unsafe websites, damaging the user experience and brand image.The 'Whether to Automatically Filter External Links' feature of AnQiCMS gives you absolute control over external links.

  2. Addrel="nofollow"Tags:If you wish to retain external links for user reference but do not want these links to pass SEO weight, the system will automatically addrel="nofollow"This attribute tells search engines not to follow these links, thereby protecting your website's 'link assets'.

Operation suggestion:For websites that focus on their own weight and user retention, such as corporate websites and brand stations, it is recommended to enable this feature. You can choose to completely remove or add based on your actual needs.nofollowTags. For example, if you often refer to industry reports or authoritative materials, addnofollowis a good compromise.
