Imagine, a traditional dynamic web page URL might look like this:www.yourwebsite.com/index.php?category_id=123&article_id=456&page=2. Such a URL contains a large number of parameters and script filenames, which is long and hard to understand, and is not "friendly" to either users or search engines.

The appearance of pseudo-static rules is to solve this problem.It does not actually convert dynamic pages into static HTML files, but rather, at the server level, it uses URL rewrite technology to simulate static HTML file addresses when displaying the originally dynamic parameterized URL.www.yourwebsite.com/news/industry-trends/anqicms-features.html.
