Page ident in URL

It is generated automatically with a page # (ie: p135) and it appears at the end of the URL (http://www.websico.com/p135.html). 

The home ident is for the home page of the site.

This identifier may be replaced by text if it is relevant and will maximize natural referencing: for example, for an online gallery, it is relevant to have the name of each artist in the URL. 

In general it is better not to change the page ident automatically generated. 


Note: It is preferable that a page ident remain the same in any language, without translation, to facilitate the transition from one language to another by the visitor.

To choose the entry page of the website

It is important to choose an entry page on the website, the one that welcomes the visitors (home); it has necessarily to be named home.

If the chosen entry page does not have that ident, it has to be renamed :

  1. On the main toolbar, click on the “other controls” icon (1st one on the left) to roll out the toolbar.
  2. On the right, replace the existing URL by home and save the page: a confirmation popup reports that this page will replace the one that previously had that URL.
