The website link, which is like the address of the website, is a key to the website. Clear and regular address numbers are not only convenient for visitors to remember and share, but also the key to understanding the structure of the website content, improving the efficiency of inclusion and ranking for search engines.This technique of optimizing dynamic links to look like static files is called 'pseudo-static'.AnQi CMS is well-versed in this, providing users with powerful and flexible pseudo-static configuration capabilities, aiming to help websites perform better in search engines and enhance the user browsing experience.

The value of URL rewrite: Why can't it be ignored?

In website operation, the structure of links (URLs) is one of the important factors that determine user experience and search engine friendliness. A chaotic and parameter-heavy dynamic link, such asexample.com/view.php?id=123&category=news&page=5Not only is it difficult to remember and spread, but it may also confuse search engines when crawling. In contrast, a concise and meaningful pseudo-static link, such asexample.com/news/industry-report.htmlThen it can clearly tell users and search engines about the page content, thereby bringing many benefits:

  • Improve SEO effectiveness:Search engines prefer URLs that are structured clearly and contain keywords, which helps them better understand the page theme and thus improve the efficiency and ranking of inclusion.
  • Optimize user experience:Users find it easier to understand, remember, and share clean URLs, which increases the professionalism and credibility of the website.
  • Simplify data analysis:The clear URL structure helps to see which content types users accessed more intuitively when analyzing website traffic.

AnQi CMS treats pseudo-static configuration as one of its core functions, not only optimizing the URL structure, but also combining 301 redirect management to ensure the SEO continuity of the website after link adjustments, avoiding unnecessary traffic loss.

Auto CMS Static URL Configuration: Two modes, flexible control

In AnQi CMS, the configuration of pseudo-static rules is very intuitive, mainly divided into two modes: the preset default mode and the highly customizable custom mode.These two modes have different focuses and can meet the needs of different users.

1. Default Static URL Mode: Easy to get started

For users who do not want to delve into technical details and just want to quickly own SEO-friendly URLs, Anqi CMS provides four ready-to-use default pseudo-static rules.You just need to find the "URL Rewrite Rules" option in the background feature management to see these presets.

  • Digital Mode:Document details, lists, single pages, tags, and others all use{id}Based on the URL generation. For example/article-123.html. This pattern is concise and clear, especially suitable for Chinese content websites.
  • Model Naming Pattern:English version: Typically applicable to English sites, the model name of the content is included in the URL, for example,/article/detail-productname.html.
  • Category naming pattern 1:Similarly more commonly used on Chinese sites, the category name is included in the URL, for example,/news/industry-report.html.
  • Category naming pattern 2:English site commonly used, URLs will combine categories and content names to form more descriptive links.

Choose one of the modes, and the Safe CMS will automatically generate URLs that comply with the rules for all corresponding pages on your website, without any additional complex settings, greatly reducing the operational threshold.

2. Custom pseudo-static mode: Create a dedicated link

If you have a unique design concept for the website URL structure or want to implement more personalized and industry-specific links, the custom pseudo-static mode of Anqi CMS will be your ideal choice.It provides you with great freedom to finely customize the URL format according to content type (such as document details, category list, model homepage, single page, tag list, tag details).

The core of custom rules is the pairing pattern of "rule name===rule value".

  • Rule nameCorresponds to different types of content pages on the website, such asarchive(Document detail page),category(Document list page),page(Single page) etc.
  • Rule Valueis the blueprint you define for the URL structure, where a series of built-in variables can be ingeniously integrated to dynamically generate links, these variables are enclosed in curly braces{}wrapped:
    • {id}：Data ID, such as article ID, category ID.
    • {filename}：Custom link alias of content, usually automatically generated from the title in pinyin, and can also be manually modified.
    • {catname}The custom link alias for categories.
    • {catid}Category ID.
    • {module}：Content model URL alias, such as “article”, “product”.
    • {page}：Page number for pagination, to be placed within parentheses, such as(-{page}).

Through the combination of these variables, you can build a URL structure with a myriad of variations. For example:

  • If you want the URL of the article detail page to be/article-{id}.html(ID pattern), you can set it like this:archive===/article-{id}.html
  • If you want the URL of the category list page to be/news/industry.html(Category alias mode), you can set it like this:category===/news/{catname}.html
  • If you want a paginated category page to be/category/{catname}(-{page}).htmlyou can set it like this:category===/category/{catname}(-{page}).html
  • For a single page, such as the URL for “About Us” is/about-us.html, you can set:page===/{filename}.html

It is particularly worth mentioning that the custom mode is powerful, but it must be configured with caution.The incorrect rule may cause the page to be inaccessible, even affecting the normal operation of the website.Before applying new custom rules, it is strongly recommended to back up the configuration and thoroughly verify it in a test environment.

Enhance the detail display of the link

In addition to the global pseudo-static rule configuration, Anqi CMS also provides more detailed link optimization options at the content management level.When publishing documents, editing categories or tags, you will find a field called "Custom URL".anqicms-tutorial, the final link may display asyourdomain.com/article/anqicms-tutorial.htmlThis is more informative than a pure numeric ID link, and it is also more friendly to search engines.

The Anqi CMS also provides a convenient automatic pinyin generation feature. When you enter a title, the system will automatically fill in the 'Custom URL' field, saving the trouble of manual input.Of course, you can also modify it as needed to ensure that the link meets SEO requirements and clearly conveys the content theme.

In short, Anqi CMS provides a comprehensive solution ranging from simple to complex for URL pseudo-static configuration.Whether you choose to quickly go live with preset rules or dive into custom mode to create a unique link, it can help you build a website that is more friendly to search engines and users.Make full use of these features, which will be a powerful guarantee for the success of your website operation.

Common Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the relationship between the custom URL field and the pseudo-static rules? Which one takes precedence?

A1:Custom URL field (i.e.,{filename}or{catname}The variable) is a part of the pseudo-static rules. When you manually set the 'Custom URL' in the 'Document Management', 'Document Classification', or 'Document Tag' sections in the background, if the pseudo-static rule you choose includes{filename}or{catname}These variables, so the system will prioritize using this custom value when generating URLs.If you do not set it, the system will usually generate the pinyin according to the title automatically.So, the custom URL field provides finer control over individual content links.

Q2：After changing the static rule, will the previous links become invalid? Will it affect SEO?

A2：The change of pseudo-static rules will indeed cause old links to become invalid.This will affect the website's SEO, because search engines have already indexed the old links, and users may also access through the old links.To avoid negative impacts, the Security CMS provides the "301 Redirect Management" feature.After changing the pseudo-static rules, you should configure 301 redirect in the background in time, permanently redirecting the old link (or old link mode) to the new link (or new link mode).So, the search engine will know that the page has been permanently moved, and will pass the weight of the old link to the new link, thus minimizing SEO loss as much as possible.

Q3：What should I do if the website cannot be opened due to an incorrect static rule configuration?

A3:If you accidentally configured incorrect rewrite rules, causing the website to be inaccessible, you can try the following steps to solve the problem:

  1. Access the backend:If the front-end page cannot be opened, try to access the back-end address directly (usually你的域名/system/）。If you can enter the background, immediately navigate to the 'Function Management' under the '伪静态规则' page, select a default rule, or correct the error in the custom rule and save.
  2. File system recovery:If the backend cannot be accessed either, this usually means there is a problem with the configuration file. You need to connect to the server via FTP or SSH to find
