The importance of URL structure in website operation is self-evident.A clear, concise, and keyword-rich URL not only enhances user experience, making it easier for users to remember and share content, but also significantly optimizes the crawling and ranking effects of search engines.AnQi CMS knows this and therefore provides a flexible and powerful pseudo-static rule configuration feature to help users create more SEO-friendly content URL displays.

What is a pseudo-static URL and its importance?

So-called pseudo-static pages are not truly static pages, but rather refer to the use of server URL rewriting technology to convert dynamic page addresses (such asexample.com/article.php?id=123Converted to look like a static page address (for exampleexample.com/article/123.htmlorexample.com/web-seo-strategy.html).

This URL format has multiple benefits for SEO:

  1. Enhance user experience:Users can get a general understanding of the page content through the URL, making it easier to understand and trust.
  2. Enhance search engine friendliness:Search engines prefer URLs with clear structure and explicit paths, which help understand the page hierarchy and content themes.
  3. Keyword integration:Core keywords can be naturally integrated into the URL to further enhance relevance.
  4. Improve Click-Through Rate:A clear URL in search results may attract more user clicks.

The pseudo-static feature of AnQi CMS is exactly to enable these advantages for your website.

Server environment configuration (Nginx/Apache)%

After setting up the pseudo-static rules for the Aiqi CMS backend, this is just the first step.To make these rules truly effective on your website, you also need to make the corresponding configuration on your web server (such as Nginx or Apache).The AnQi CMS is essentially a Go language application, which usually provides services through reverse proxy.

Nginx server configuration example:

In the Nginx site configuration file, you need to ensure that Nginx can correctly forward pseudo-static requests to the Anqi CMS for processing. Here is a typical Nginx configuration snippet:

`nginx server {

listen       80;
server_name yourdomain.com; # 替换为您的域名
root /www/wwwroot/anqicms.com/public; # 替换为您的网站根目录/public

location @AnqiCMS {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8001; # 这里的端口8001是安企CMS默认监听的端口，如果修改过请对应修改
    proxy_set_header   Host             $host;
    proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP        $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_
