In today's highly competitive online environment, a website's URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is not only the address of the content but also a key factor affecting user experience and search engine rankings.A clear and meaningful URL can enhance the professionalism of a website, helping search engines better understand page content and optimize SEO effects.AnQiCMS provides two core functions of pseudo-static and 301 redirection in URL optimization, allowing users to easily build a website structure that is more friendly to search engines and users.

Optimize URL display: Make good use of the pseudo-static function of Anqi CMS

The technology of pseudo-static, as the name implies, is to make the dynamically generated pages appear like static pages in the URL display.Compared to long dynamic URLs with question marks and parameters, static URLs are usually shorter and more descriptive, and can contain keywords, which are favored by search engines and users.

The AnQi CMS integrates pseudo-static configuration in the backend, making it easy for even users who are not familiar with server configuration to get started quickly.In the Anqi CMS backend, you can find the 'Static Rules' option under the 'Function Management' menu, where various preset modes and highly customizable options are provided.

1. Pre-set mode, get started quickly:The AnQi CMS is built-in with four commonly used pseudo-static modes, you can choose according to the type of website and content features:

  • Numeric mode:The URL mainly uses the ID of the content, concise and clear, suitable for Chinese sites that pay attention to conciseness. For example:/article/123.html.
  • Model naming pattern:URL contains the English alias and content ID of the content model (such as "article", "product"), making it more semantic and commonly used on English websites. For example:/article-detail/123.html.
  • Category naming patterns 1 and 2:These modes will build URLs based on the category name or ID of the content, further enhancing the hierarchy and readability of the URL. For example:/news/industry-updates/123.html.

These preset modes greatly simplify the configuration process, just click to select, and it can take effect immediately, bringing preliminary SEO optimization to the website.

2. Custom mode, flexible control:If you have more refined requirements for URL structure, Anqi CMS also provides powerful custom patterns.In Custom mode, you can use a series of preset variables to combine a URL format that aligns with your brand image and SEO strategy.These variables include:

  • {id}Content ID.
  • {filename}Custom link name (alias), usually the pinyin or English title of the content.
  • {catname}Custom link name for category.
  • {catid}: Category ID.
  • {module}English alias for content model.
  • {page}Page number.

By combining these variables, you can create highly personalized and SEO-friendly URLs. For example, you can set the article detail page as/news/{catname}/{filename}.html, or set the product page as/products/{catid}-{filename}.html.

How to set a custom URL alias:In order for these custom static rules to take effect, you need to enter meaningful English or pinyin aliases in the "Custom URL" field when publishing documents, creating categories, or single pages.The AnQi CMS usually generates an initial alias based on the title automatically. You can modify it as needed, but please ensure its uniqueness across the entire site to avoid link conflicts.

By reasonably configuring URL rewriting, your website URL will become more readable, easier to be crawled and indexed by search engines, thereby laying a solid foundation for better SEO performance.

Protect SEO assets: The 301 redirection management of Anqi CMS

During the operation of a website, changes to URLs are common, such as adjusting page content, changing category structures, merging old pages, and so on.If not properly handled, these URL changes can lead to a large number of 404 error pages, severely damaging user experience and search engine rankings.This is when the 301 redirect becomes crucial.

The 301 redirect indicates a permanent move of the page, it informs the search engines that the old URL has permanently moved to a new URL, and it will pass the PageRank weight of the old URL to the new URL.The 301 redirect feature of Anqi CMS is designed to help you effectively manage these changes, ensuring that your website's SEO assets are not lost.

In the AnQi CMS backend "Function Management", you can find the "301 Redirect Management" feature.You can easily set up a permanent redirect from an old link to a new link here.

The importance of 301 redirect lies in:

  1. Prevent 404 errors:When the old link no longer exists, a 301 redirect can guide users and search engines to the relevant new page, avoiding the error of "page not found" and improving the user experience.
  2. Maintain SEO weight:The search engine recognizes 301 redirects and transfers the weight of the old page to the new page, which means you will not lose the search engine rankings and traffic you have worked hard to accumulate due to URL changes.
  3. Integrate content to enhance authority:If you have multiple pages with similar content, you can consolidate them into a higher-quality page using a 301 redirect, concentrate the weight, and enhance the authority and ranking of that page.
  4. Support website migration and structure adjustment:When making website redesigns, domain changes, or major adjustments to content structure, the 301 redirect is an essential tool to ensure a smooth SEO transition.

By using the AnQi CMS 301 redirect management, you just need to enter the old link and the new link, and the system will automatically handle the redirect logic, minimizing the impact of URL changes on website SEO.
