Is the TDK setting of each site independent under the multi-site management of AnQi CMS?

In today's rapidly changing internet environment, many enterprises and content operators are no longer satisfied with a single website operation model.Multi-site strategy is increasingly favored for its ability to better segment the market, provide personalized services, or manage brand matrix.AnQiCMS (AnQiCMS) is a corporate-level content management system designed specifically for multi-site management, naturally providing strong support in this aspect.Then, when we manage multiple sites in the AnQi CMS, are the TDK (Title, Description, Keywords) settings for each site independent?

Without a doubt,Is the TDK setting of each site completely independent under the multi-site management mode of AnQi CMS?This is one of the core advantages of the multi-site function of Anqi CMS, aiming to give operators great flexibility and refined SEO control capabilities.

Why does each site's TDK need to be independent?

TDK is the foundation of search engine optimization (SEO), which directly affects the display, click-through rate, and relevance judgment of a website in search engine results pages (SERP).For operators with multiple sites, these sites often carry different business objectives, target different user groups, or promote different products and services.

For example, a company may operate:

  • An official brand website (TDK focuses on brand image, core business).
  • An English-specific product sales website (TDK emphasizes product features, promotional information, and purchase conversion).
  • An English translation of 'auto' is 'English'.
  • An English knowledge base website that provides technical support or community content (TDK focuses on solutions and user interaction).

If the TDK of these sites is shared, it is impossible to carry out effective SEO optimization for their respective positioning, which may even lead to keyword conflicts and 'internal competition', reducing the overall SEO effect.The company is well-versed in this field, and therefore established the principle of independent TDK management from the beginning of the system design.

How does Anqi CMS achieve the independence of TDK?

SafeCMS treats each site as an independent operating entity. From the underlying architecture, when you add a new site using the "Multi-site Management" feature of SafeCMS, the system will configure for the new siteIndependent database（If you do not choose to reuse the default database），and independentSite Root Directory(such as/app/dev_anqicms.com），is used to store their respective data and files. This physical isolation lays a foundation for logical configuration independence.

In actual operation, this means:

  1. Global homepage TDK settings independence:Each site created in the Anqi CMS can be set in the "Homepage TDK Settings" module on its backend (refer to document:)help-setting-tdk.mdIn the bracket, independently configure the Title, Keywords, and Description of the website homepage.These settings do not affect each other, allowing you to tailor the most suitable home page SEO strategy for each site.

  2. The independence of content level TDK:In addition to the site homepage, the security CMS also provides content level TDK settings, including:

    • Document/Article TDK:When publishing and editing each document or article, you can independently set the "SEO title", "document keywords", and "document description" (as Description).
    • 分类TDK：English每个内容分类（如文章分类、产品分类）也都有独立的“SEO标题”、“关键词”和“分类简介”。
    • 单页面TDK：EnglishLike "About Us

    This refined TDK settings also belong completely to the site they are located on, and are managed and called within the site.

  3. Intelligent adaptation of template tags:The template engine of Anqi CMS is very intelligent. When you call TDK tags (such as{% tdk with name="Title" %}, see the reference document:design-tag.mdWhen accessing, the system will automatically identify and load the corresponding site's TDK information based on the current URL and site context.It can accurately present the SEO metadata of the current page belonging to the site, whether it is the homepage TDK, article TDK, or category TDK.

This independent and hierarchical TDK management mode enables CMS users to handle complex SEO challenges with ease, ensuring that each site can achieve **exposure and ranking** in search engines.
