In AnQiCMS, the TDK (Title, Description, Keywords) settings on the homepage are an indispensable part of website SEO optimization, directly affecting the first impression of the website to search engines and the willingness of users to click on the search results to enter the website.AnQiCMS as a highly SEO-friendly content management system provides an intuitive and convenient way to manage this key information.

Why is the TDK on the homepage so important?

The website's Title (title) is the first sentence displayed to users on the search engine results page and is an important basis for whether they click or not.A meticulously written title can not only accurately convey the core content of the website but also attract the target users.

Description (description) is a brief summary of the website content, which appears below the Title and provides more information to the user to decide whether to click.An attractive description can effectively improve click-through rate.

Keywords (keywords) although the weight of keywords in modern search engine rankings has decreased, they still help search engines better understand the theme of the website and can have a supporting effect on rankings in some cases.Reasonably setting keywords helps to improve the search visibility of the website.

AnQiCMS understands the importance of TDK, therefore, these core SEO settings are integrated into the backend for fine management by users.
