The URL structure of the website is based on a set ofStatic rulesDefined. These rules allow us to configure various URL display modes, such as based on article ID (/{module}-{id}.html) based on category name (/{catname}/{filename}.html) or combined with content model alias (/{module}/{filename}.htmlThese rules are for generating website URLs.Basic framework.
On this basis, AnQiCMS provides content for articles, categories, tags, and single pages, etc.Custom URLThe option.

These "custom URL" fields, as well as system-built IDs, category IDs, model aliases, and so on, all constitute the final URLFixed data pointThey are the 'identity' of the page, not part of the page content.
Conclusion: Keyword replacement and the independence of URL
So, let's go back to our original question: When the website URL contains keywords, will the keyword replacement function of AnQiCMS also modify the URL?
The answer is: no.
The all-site keyword replacement function of AnQiCMS mainly limits its scope tothe text and internal links of the page main content.It is independent of the mechanism for generating and managing URL addresses.The URL is determined by the "static rules" and the "custom URL" (or the system-generated URL alias) you set when creating the content.These URL aliases are stored as metadata attributes of the content and are not affected by keyword replacement operations within the content area.
This design provides extremely high flexibility and stability.It means you can freely optimize and update the website content without affecting the existing URL structure and the weight accumulated by it in search engines.At the same time, it also prevents the accidental modification of URLs due to changes in keywords within the content, which could lead to a large number of dead links or SEO issues.
actual operation suggestions
If you want the website URL to include specific keywords to improve SEO, the correct approach is to use the "Custom URL" feature manually when creating or editing articles, categories, tags, and single pages.Ensure that the URL alias you enter is concise and contains core keywords, and conforms to the definition of static rules.
If in the future it is indeed necessary to adjust the URL of a page, please make sure to set a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new URL in the AnQiCMS backend's '301 Redirect Management' feature to avoid traffic loss and negative SEO impact.
In summary, AnQiCMS treats content optimization and URL structure optimization as two independent but both beneficial for SEO aspects, allowing operators to control every detail of the website more accurately and safely.
