In today's internet era where content is booming, the value of original content is becoming increasingly prominent, but the issues of content plagiarism and scraping also cause many website operators a lot of headaches.AnQiCMS (AnQiCMS) knows this very well, therefore, it has integrated powerful anti-crawling and watermark management functions into the system design, aiming to help us effectively protect the original content and image copyrights of the website.How do these features specifically affect the image watermark and content display on our website?Next, let us delve into it.

Image watermark: The silent guardian of original content

The image is an important part of the website content, and its copyright protection is especially critical.The image watermark function provided by Anqi CMS, just like adding a unique 'identity mark' to each of our original images.

Impact and experience:

  • Copyright statement visualization:When we turn on the watermark feature in the background and set the watermark style (such as text watermark or picture Logo watermark), the system will automatically overlay the watermark onto the image when uploading or processing the image.This means that all images that meet the set conditions will clearly display our brand logo, website domain, or copyright statement when the user browses.This is a very direct and effective copyright declaration method.
  • Unified presentation of brand image:Whether it is an article illustration, product display image, or other visual material, the watermark function ensures that all images are uniformly marked with the brand logo.This not only helps enhance the brand's professionalism and recognition, but also continuously strengthens the brand image during the content dissemination process.
  • Anti-crawling effect:For collectors who try to directly copy and paste images or simply scrape images with simple crawlers, the watermarked images increase the cost of their plagiarism.They either need to manually remove the watermark (which is usually time-consuming, labor-intensive, and not very effective), or they have to publish with the watermark, which inadvertently promotes our website.
  • Display Effect:The image watermark is a part of the image file itself, so it will be displayed as the image is normally loaded.For ordinary users, images with watermarks are part of the content design and will not have a negative impact on the normal image browsing experience.The only thing that may need attention is the position, transparency, and size of the watermark, which requires us to make a reasonable configuration based on the overall design of the website to avoid obscuring the main image information and affecting the aesthetic appeal.The CMS usually provides various watermark positions and transparency options for flexible adjustment.

Content anti-crawling: Protecting the 'invisibility shield' of text

In addition to images, the originality of text content is also important.The 'Anti-crawling Interference Code' feature of Anqi CMS is a 'hidden shield' that was created for this purpose.Its function is to process the text content of the website in a special way without affecting the reading experience of normal users, thereby interfering with the crawling of automated collection programs.

Impact and experience:

  • No impact on human eye browsing:This is the core feature of anti-collection interference code.When we enable this feature in the background, the system will insert some special, invisible characters, tags, or make minor adjustments through CSS styles during content generation.These processes are completely transparent to users when reading articles or viewing product descriptions in the browser, the content is displayed as usual, reading is smooth and natural, and there will be no garbled text or formatting errors.
  • Disturbance to the automated collector:For those collection programs that analyze HTML structure and text content, these interference codes will confuse them.The collector may capture additional irrelevant information, or parse out a chaotic text structure, even causing the program to run incorrectly.This "dirty data" or "invalid data" will greatly reduce the efficiency and accuracy of collection, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the original content.
  • Considerations for template rendering:This is particularly worth our attention. When the content of our website (especially article details, product descriptions, etc., rich text content) may contain anti-crawling interference codes, it is imperative to ensure that the content is output using the Anqi CMS template engine provided.|safeFilter。For example, if we want to display the document content, the correct way should be{{archive.Content|safe}}。If omitted,|safeFilter, the template engine may escape the interference code as ordinary text for display, resulting in some unwanted garbage code or HTML tag codes appearing on the page, which seriously affects the user experience.
  • SEO friendliness:The anti-crawling interference code of Anqi CMS is usually designed to be more intelligent, mainly targeting the structured analysis of crawling programs, rather than the normal crawling by search engines.The crawlers of mainstream search engines (such as Baidu, Google) have stronger parsing capabilities, able to identify and ignore these interference codes, and normally crawl and index our content.Therefore, properly configured anti-crawling features will not have a negative impact on the website's SEO ranking.

Proficient in using|safeFilter:这一点对于内容输出至关重要。凡是来自后台富文本编辑器、可能包含防采集干扰码的字段（如文章正文archive.Content、单页内容page.Content，or the rich text field in a custom model), be sure to add it when calling in the template|safefilter. This is the 'golden rule' to ensure the content displays normally on the front end.
  3.
