In the era where content is king, the SEO effect of a website is directly related to the exposure and user reach of the content.Among them, the URL structure is the first gateway for communication between websites and search engines, and its friendliness is crucial.A clear, concise, and descriptive URL can not only help search engines better understand page content, but also improve user experience and increase click-through rate.AnQiCMS is an enterprise-level content management system that focuses on SEO, providing powerful static page features, allowing users to flexibly customize the URL rules of article detail pages, thereby significantly optimizing SEO performance.

The Value of AnQiCMS URL Rewrite Functionality

Static URL, as the name implies, is to 'disguise' the dynamically generated URL address through server rules into a static address. Compared to the long dynamic parameters (such asarticle.php?id=123&category=tech), URL with pseudo-static (such asarticle/anqicms-seo-guide.html) More readable, easier to be indexed by search engines, and can integrate keywords to enhance relevance.AnQiCMS knows this point well, one of its core functions is 'static and 301 redirect management', aiming to effectively improve the SEO effect of the website through optimizing the URL structure.Combining the advanced SEO tools built into AnQiCMS, such as Sitemap generation, keyword library management, etc., users can build a highly SEO-friendly content ecosystem.

Deep understanding of AnQiCMS' pseudo-static rules

AnQiCMS's static URL feature is powerful and flexible, it not only provides a series of built-in static URL rules for users to quickly select, but more importantly, it opens up the 'custom mode', allowing you to refine the URL according to your own SEO strategy and content structure.

Under the "Function Management" menu, under the "Static Rule" section, you will find that the system provides independent rule configuration options for different types of pages (including document detail pages, document list pages, model home pages, single pages, tag list pages, and tag detail pages). For article detail pages, we need to focus on the namedarchiverules.

The core of the custom rule lies in规则名===规则值pairing. Among them,规则名is a system-defined identifier that we cannot modify (for examplearchiverepresents the article detail page); and规则值It is the key to our custom URL structure. In constructing规则值AnQiCMS provides a variety of variables for us to combine, which all need to be enclosed in curly braces{}wrap it up:

  • {id}: represents the unique numeric ID of an article or category. Simple and direct, but lacks semantic meaning.
  • {filename}This represents the custom link alias for articles, categories, or tags. It is the key to implementing semantic URLs, usually automatically generated from the title in pinyin, and can also be manually edited.
  • {catname}This represents the custom link alias of the article category. It is suitable for scenarios where the URL contains category information.
  • {catid}This represents the unique numeric ID of the article category.
  • {module}Represents the URL alias of the content model (such as the article model, product model).
  • {page}Used for pagination links, must be enclosed in parentheses, for example.(/{page}).

After understanding these variables, you can build a user-friendly article detail page URL that meets SEO requirements, just like stacking building blocks.

Practical steps for customizing the article detail page URL.

Now, let's customize the URL static rules step by step for the article detail page:

  1. Enter the static configuration interface:Log in to the AnQiCMS backend, navigate to "Function Management" > "Static Rule".

  2. Select the custom mode:In the rule selection area at the top of the page, find and select "Custom mode". The system will display all customizable rule configurations.

  3. ConfigurationarchiveRule:FindarchiveThis line is used to define the URL rule for the article detail page. You can enter a custom rule value after the equal sign.

    Here are some common optimization solutions and examples, you can choose according to your actual needs:

    • Concise title-style URL (recommended)

      archive===/{filename}.html

      This type of URL will directly use the pinyin alias of the article title as part of the URL, for examplehttps://您的域名/anqicms-url-seo.htmlThis structure is concise and clear, containing keywords and convenient for users to remember and share, which is significant for SEO improvement.

    • Category + Title-based URL

      archive===/{catname}/{filename}.html

      If your website content hierarchy is clear and you want to reflect classification information in the URL, you can use this pattern, for examplehttps://您的域名/技术教程/anqicms-url-seo.htmlThis helps users and search engines better understand the ownership of the article.

    • Model + Title-based URL

      archive===/{module}/{filename}.html

      For websites with various content models (such as articles, products, cases, etc.), adding a model identifier to the URL can better organize content, for examplehttps://您的域名/article/anqicms-url-seo.html.

    • ID combined with title-style URL

      archive===/{id}-{filename}.html

      Retain the ID in the URL, sometimes for convenience of internal system identification or to avoid URL conflicts, and at the same time, combine with title alias, can also take into account SEO friendliness, for examplehttps://您的域名/123-anqicms-url-seo.html.

  4. Save configuration and update cache:After completing the rule settings, be sure to click the 'Save' button at the bottom of the page.After saving, please do not forget to click on "Update Cache" on the background homepage to ensure that the new pseudo-static rules take effect immediately.

Settings and importance of custom URL aliases

It's not enough to just configure the pseudo-static rules; you also need to ensure that the custom URL aliases (i.e.,{filename}and{catname}the values they represent) are themselves optimized.

When posting articles or managing categories on AnQiCMS, the system will automatically generate a pinyin based on the title you enter as a custom URL. There are several key points to note:

  • Manual optimization: Automatically generated pinyin may sometimes be too long or not concise enough. It is recommended that you manually edit these custom URLs, simplify them, and integrate core keywords.For example, an article about how to customize URLs in 'AnQi CMS' to improve SEO, the alias can be optimized toanqicms-custom-url-seoComma instead of long spelling.
  • Ensure uniqueness:The custom URL must be unique across the entire site. AnQiCMS will check for duplicates and automatically add numbers to distinguish if any are found.But on the SEO level, we should try to avoid this situation, striving to provide a unique and highly relevant URL for each article.
  • Character specification:It is recommended to use a custom URL only.
