In website operation, making sure your content displays perfectly on all devices is crucial for enhancing user experience and SEO performance.The AnQiCMS provides three flexible mode choices for the display compatibility of front-end content: adaptive, code adaptation, and PC+mobile independent site mode.Understanding how these patterns operate and their impact on the display of your front-end content can help you better plan and manage your website.
一、English mode: Single template, smooth experience on multiple devices
Adaptive mode, as the name implies, is designed to 'self-adjust' and 'adapt' your website on screens of different sizes.In this mode, you only need to design a front-end template.This template will use technologies such as Flexbox, Grid, and Media Queries to automatically adjust the layout, font size, image size, and other content properties according to the screen width, resolution, and other characteristics of the user's device.
For the compatibility of front-end content display, adaptive mode brings a lot of convenience.Firstly, content editing is very convenient, you only need to enter the content once in the background, and the system will automatically handle its display on different devices.This means that you do not need to prepare separately for PC or mobile, whether it is articles, product details, or images.Secondly, since all devices access the same URL, this is very friendly for search engine optimization (SEO), avoiding the problem of duplicate content, and it is also easier to concentrate the weight of the website.The Anqi CMS supports WebP image format conversion, automatic compression of large images and thumbnail processing in the content settings. These features are particularly important in adaptive mode, ensuring that images load quickly and display well on different devices.
However, adaptive mode may also bring some challenges.If not designed properly, it may lead to loading too many PC elements on mobile devices, affecting page performance.English translation: At the same time, to ensure that very complex layouts are perfectly presented on all devices, more effort from front-end development is required.
二、Code adaptation mode: More accurate device optimization
The code adaptation mode is between adaptive and standalone sites, and it also allows users to access the website through the same URL.But unlike adaptive, the code adaptation mode identifies the user's device type (PC or mobile) by server-side technology (such as detecting User-Agent) and then sends different HTML, CSS, or JavaScript code to different devices.
In AnQi CMS, code adaptation mode usually means you need to prepare two different template files for PC and mobile terminals. For example, the PC template file may be placed directly in/templateThe directory, while the mobile template files are stored in/template/mobilethe subdirectory. When the system detects that it is an access from a mobile device, it will automatically callmobileThe directory contains the corresponding template. This means that you can provide a fully optimized, lightweight page with redundant elements removed from the PC end for mobile users.
The advantage of this pattern is that it provides a finer degree of control than adaptive.You can optimize the content presentation method according to the characteristics of different devices, even decide to hide some content modules that are only displayed on the PC end on the mobile end, thereby providing a more focused user experience.Since the URL remains unchanged, it still maintains good SEO-friendliness.The shortcomings are that maintaining two sets of templates will increase some workload, and it is necessary to ensure that the content logic of the two sets of templates remains consistent during content updates to avoid unnecessary differences.
三、PC+手机独立站点模式：Ultimate user experience and flexible operation
PC+phone independent site mode is the most device-compatible among the three modes. It refers to establishing independent websites for PC and mobile terminals, which usually use different domain names or subdomains (such aswww.yourdomain.comFor PC,m.yourdomain.comUsed for mobile phones).
In the AnQi CMS, by using its powerful "multi-site management" function, you can easily set up independent PC and mobile websites.You can set independent website addresses for the PC site and mobile site in the background (through the "Mobile End Address" feature in global settings), and allocate different templates.This means that two sites have a completely independent template system and frontend resources. You can design completely different user interfaces and interaction processes for each site, and even tailor content strategies specifically.For example, the mobile site can focus more on quick browsing and contact information display, while the PC site can carry more detailed product introductions and in-depth articles.
This mode's greatest advantage is that it can provide users of different devices with the ultimate customization experience.Each site can be deeply optimized according to the characteristics of its target device, including design, functionality, and performance.However, the maintenance cost is also the highest.You need to manage two separate sites, and may need to synchronize between the two sites when publishing content (although the 'Content Collection and Batch Import' and 'Flexible Content Model' of Safe CMS can help simplify the process).It is more important that the independent site mode puts forward higher requirements for SEO.To avoid search engines treating the PC site and mobile site as duplicate content, you need to correctly configure the Canonical tag and Hreflang tag, clearly indicating the relationship and preferred version of the two sites to the search engines.The "Advanced SEO Tools" and "TDK Settings" features of the "AnQi CMS" are particularly crucial here.

Common Questions (FAQ)

2. How to ensure the compatibility of my image content in these three modes?
The SafeCMS is built with powerful image processing capabilities and can well support various modes.Whether it is in any mode, the images you upload can utilize the options in "Content Settings", such as automatically converting to WebP format (reduce size), automatically compressing large images, and configuring the thumbnail generation method.These features ensure that images can be loaded at appropriate sizes and formats on different devices, effectively improving page loading speed and visual compatibility.In adaptive and code adaptation mode, the template should use CSS or JS to implement responsive image display.In standalone site mode, you can upload images of different sizes or optimization levels based on the different needs of PC and mobile.
3. Will the independent PC+mobile site mode have a negative impact on my website's SEO, such as being considered duplicate content?
If not handled properly, the PC+mobile independent site may indeed face the risk of duplicate content.But Butan Security CMS provides the corresponding SEO tools to avoid these problems.You need to make sure that the Canonical tag and Hreflang tag are correctly configured in the HTML header of the PC site and mobile site.Canonical tags tell search engines which is the 'preferred' version of the content, to avoid penalties for duplicate content; Hreflang tags are used to indicate that your content has different language or regional versions, helping search engines provide the most suitable page for users based on their language and location.The 'Advanced SEO Tools' of Anqi CMS and the flexible TDK (Title, Description, Keywords) settings can help you effectively manage these SEO elements, ensuring the independence and search engine-friendliness of content across different sites.
