The original English version of the permanent link is "permanent link" or "Clean URL", which means that a link has a static and absolute address. The permanent link was originally designed to do search engine optimization (SEO), because Google's robots have a preference for static URLs, so for dynamically generated pages, people come up with a way to impersonate a static page so that Google can better index the content of the site; Another intention is to increase the readability of URL addresses (URLs of previous years are often very complex, especially for some portals). Over the last two years, with the wide application of rewriting technology (Rewrite) and the rise of rest, permanent links have become a pretty fashionable thing, and the blog you see now has a permanent link.

But people seem to overlook some usability problems with permanent links.

First of all, theoretically when a page has a permanent link, no matter when and where to access the link address, users should get the same page-otherwise called what "permanent link" it! But the fact is not always the case, so its first usability problem is that permanent links don't really last forever!

This problem is commonly found on the Site List page for essential page-flipping navigation. My blog also has (as shown below), in order to achieve the above two purposes, the links in the page navigation are all permanent links, carefully observe its URL, it is not difficult to see the "page: (number)" represents the page number. But because I will constantly update the content of the blog, the contents of a page will change, which will cause this month to see the content of the third page and next month will be different, the permanent link is no longer permanent. The root cause of this problem is that in order for users to see the latest content first, the web designer turns the "last page" (or the latest page) in the usual sense into the first page, causing the index to fail completely. It's as if you're reading a book, and the author keeps adding content from the beginning, and you find that when you pick up the book for the second time, you can't find anything based on the page numbers in your memory.

So how do we solve this problem? I think at least we can start with the following two aspects:

Index the content of the site according to the actual habits

is to increase the page number naturally according to the chronological order, which is a way to eradicate the problem. But the disadvantage is that it will challenge user habits, and by experience we know that it is very scary:P

Add a timestamp to a page number link

Add a timestamp to each dynamically generated page number link, such as "page:3/date:20071216", to indicate the valid time range for this page number. But this obviously adds to the difficulty of programming, and it's strange in terms of its metaphors, "third page of December 16, 2007"? That sounds incredible, although this approach does solve the problem.
