Dynamic URLs can flexibly handle data in the background, but their long parameters and lack of readability often confuse search engine crawlers and make it difficult for users to understand and remember.Pseudo-Static technology is precisely the ideal solution to solve this contradiction.It is still dynamically generated in the background, while presenting a concise, staticized URL form to the outside through URL rewriting, thereby balancing the flexibility of dynamic content and the SEO advantages of static pages.
