In AnQiCMS, the URL structure of the website is crucial for search engine optimization (SEO) and user experience.An clear and meaningful URL can not only help search engines better understand the page content, but also make it easier for users to remember and share the link.The AutoCMS provides powerful URL rewriting capabilities, especially its custom mode, which allows users to finely control the display style of category list pages.

Pseudo-static: The cornerstone of website-friendliness

The pseudo-static technology does not actually generate the page as a static HTML file, but rather uses URL rewrite rules on the server side to rewrite dynamic page addresses (such ascategory.php?id=123Simulate static file path (such as/category-123.html）。EnglishQiCMS will take this feature as one of its core advantages, optimizing the URL structure to improve search engine crawling and ranking, while enhancing the user experience of the website.

Although AnQiCMS has built-in several preset static page modes such as number mode, model naming mode, etc., these modes are usually sufficient for many situations.But for websites that pursue ultimate optimization or have special URL structure requirements, the custom pseudo-static mode provided is undoubtedly a more powerful tool.It allows us to tailor the URL display rules for category lists based on the characteristics of the website content.

Deep analysis of custom patterns: The shaper of category list URLs

To adjust the URL display of the category list, we need to enter the "Function Management" menu of AnQiCMS backend and find the "Static Rule" option.Here, after selecting "Custom Mode", you will see a series of configurable rule items.categoryThe rule item is the key to determining the format of the category list URL.

a typicalcategoryCustom rules may look like this:category===/{module}/{catname}(-{page})

This rule consists of two parts: 'Rule Name'categoryand 'Rule Value'/{module}/{catname}(-{page}), separated by===Connect. Here the "rule value" is where we define the category list URL structure. Let's delve into several important variables in the rule value.

  • {module}The URL alias of the content model.This variable represents the English alias of the classified content model.Under "Content ManagementarticleThe alias of the product model is.productso that{module}They will be replaced separately in the category list.articleorproductThis helps make the URL hierarchy clear, allowing you to quickly see which large content category the category belongs to.

  • {catname}: Custom URL alias for the categoryThis is one of the core variables that determine the display of the classification list URL.In the "Content Management" "Document Category{catname}.If left blank, AnQiCMS will automatically generate the pinyin of the category name as the default value.This custom URL must ensure that it is unique across the entire site, otherwise the system will automatically add random numbers at the end to ensure uniqueness.By setting meaningful English or pinyin aliases, it can make the category URL more readable and relevant to keywords.

  • (-{page}): Dynamic handling of pagination page numbersThis is enclosed in parentheses()The package-{page}The variable represents pagination information.Its special feature is that it is an optional dynamic part.{page}will be replaced with the corresponding page number, for examplearticle/news-page-2orproduct/showcase/page/3.htmlHere,pageThe variable will automatically capture the page number parameter in the URL and display it according to the rules.

By flexibly combining these variables and fixed characters, we can create various classification list URL formats that meet different requirements. For example:

  • category===/list-{catname}.html: Generate/list-news.htmlSuch a concise URL.
  • category===/{module}/category/{catname}/: Generate/article/category/news/Such a clear level URL.

Custom URL configuration and considerations.

After customizing the static rules, it is necessary to ensure that the 'Custom URL' of the classification and the 'URL Alias' of the content model are correctly configured in the background.Set a unique 'custom URL' for each category in 'Document Classification' and a 'URL alias' for each model in 'Content Model', which is the foundation for implementing these custom URLs.

This highly customized URL display method has a significant impact on the SEO performance of the website.On the one hand, a clear URL with keywords is easier for search engines to index and rank; on the other hand, a concise URL is also convenient for users to understand and spread.

However, changing the URL structure is a process that requires careful operation.Each adjustment of pseudo-static rules, especially involving the URLs of pages that have already gone live, should be thoroughly tested.At the same time, if the old URL has already generated some search engine authority or external links, it is strongly recommended to use the '301 Redirect Management' feature provided by AnQiCMS to permanently redirect the old URL to the new URL to avoid traffic loss and SEO negative impact.This ensures that users and search engines can seamlessly redirect to new links when accessing old links, thereby maintaining the continuity and authority of the website.

In summary, the pseudo-static custom mode of AnQiCMS, especially the detailed control over the category list URL, provides a powerful tool for website operators.It is not just a technical configuration, but also an important part of the website's brand image, user experience, and SEO strategy.Through careful design and configuration, every link on the website can be made to maximize its value.
