一、Static URL Rewriting: Making URLs More Readable and SEO-Friendly

Traditional dynamic URLs often contain a series of complex parameters and symbols,example.com/article.php?id=123&category=news.This URL is not friendly to search engines and users.example.com/news/anqicms-seo-guide.html.

AnQiCMS knows this, and therefore provides powerful pseudo-static rule management features. In the AnQiCMS backend, go intoFunction ManagementclickStatic rules，You will see various preset modes and custom options, making URL optimization simple and efficient:

  1. Preset static rule:AnQiCMS built-in several common rules such as numeric mode, model naming mode, and category naming mode.For most websites, choosing one of the modes can well meet the needs.yourdomain.com/article/your-article-title.htmlIt includes the identifier of the content model and integrates keywords from the article title, greatly enhancing the readability and SEO value of the URL.

  2. Custom rewrite rule:If you have more personalized needs for URL structure, AnQiCMS's custom mode provides high flexibility. You can refer to the document ID ({id})、Document Custom Link Name ({filename})、Category Custom Link Name ({catname})、Model Table Name ({module})、Pagination Page Number ({page}) variables, combine to form a URL format that suits your website characteristics. For example, you can define the URL of the article detail page as/{module}/{catname}/{filename}.htmlThis will be reflected in the URL at the same time, showing the model, category, and document alias, making the hierarchical relationship clearer.

In template design, AnQiCMS will automatically generate the corresponding URL based on the pseudo-static rules you set. When you use it in the template,{{archive.Link}}or{{category.Link}}When outputting links with tags, the system will intelligently generate an optimized URL based on the current pseudo-static configuration.This means that you do not need to manually modify each link, just adjust the rules in the background, and all site links will be synchronized updated.

Through the feature of pseudo static, your website URL will become more semantic, more conducive to user memory and sharing, and at the same time, it can also better convey page theme information to search engines, thereby achieving better visibility in search results.

二、301重定向：平稳过渡与权重传递的守护者

The URL structure change during the operation of the website is inevitable.It may be due to website redesign, content reorganization, keyword strategy adjustment, or even upgrading HTTP protocol to HTTPS, all these changes may lead to the failure of the original URL, resulting in a large number of 404 error pages.The 404 error not only seriously damages the user experience, but also makes search engines think that the quality of your website has decreased, which in turn affects the SEO ranking.

This is where the 301 redirect feature of AnQiCMS becomes particularly crucial.301重定向（Permanent Redirect）意味着页面的内容已永久性地移动到新的URL。It is most important that it can fully pass the accumulated search engine weight (Link Equity) of the old URL to the new URL, ensuring that the website's SEO ranking and traffic will not be lost after the URL change.

在AnQiCMS后台，进入Function Managementclick301 Redirect Management，您可以轻松地设置各种重定向规则：

  1. Handle URL structure changes:When you modify the URL alias of an article or category, or adjust the pseudo-static rules, the old URL may become invalid.Now you can accurately point the old URL to the new URL in the 301 redirect management.AnQiCMS in version 2.1.1 has added support for 301 redirect links, ensuring the timeliness of this feature.

  2. Resolve page content deactivation or merger:If a page's content is no longer needed, but it has a good ranking and backlinks, directly deleting it will cause a loss of weight.By using a 301 redirect to the most relevant other page, it can effectively retain this part of the weight.

  3. Smooth transition from HTTP to HTTPS:This is the necessary path for website security upgrade.By setting up 301 redirection for the entire site, all HTTP requests are permanently redirected to HTTPS, which ensures data transmission security and avoids SEO issues caused by protocol changes.

  4. Domain name change or merger:When a website changes its domain name or merges multiple subdomains into a main domain, 301 redirect is the only effective way to ensure seamless migration of traffic and ranking.

The operation to set up a 301 redirect is very intuitive, just fill in the 'old URL' and 'new URL', and select the redirect type (usually select 'permanent redirect').Complete the setup and it is strongly recommended that you visit the old URL through the browser to check if it successfully jumps to the new URL, and make sure that the redirect status code is indeed 301.
