SEO Content Analysis Powered by Yoast

SEO content analysis for K2 items powered by the fabulous Yoast SEO engine. Optimize your Joomla K2 pages based on keywords you provide. Check quickly how your page will look in search results using the Snippet preview that Route 66 provides!

Flexible SEF URLs definition using patterns

Route 66 allows you to define your K2 SEF URLs using patterns and not be restricted by limited URL options! Patterns can include any URL friendly character along with some tokens for generating dynamic variables ( like the item's date for example ). Here are some examples of URL patterns you can use in Route 66:

• blog/{itemYear}/{itemMonth}/{itemAlias}
• {categoryAlias}/{itemAlias}
• {itemAlias}
• page-{itemId}
• {categoryPath}/{itemAlias}

It's that simple to add SEF URLs to your site with Route 66. Check out the documentation to see a list of all available tokens that Route 66 supports. Last but not least, Route 66 allows you to define different pattern per language when multiple languages are enabled to your site.

Exceptional performance

Unlike bulky SEF extensions that can store thousands of URLs to your site's database, Route 66 offers dynamic and high performance URL generation. In short, Route 66 will not impact your website’s performance.

Duplicate URLs handling - Canonical Links

If Route 66 detects any duplicate URLs it will redirect to the canonical URL automatically. Let's say for example that you have an item with ID 9 and alias "have-a-nice-day" . Let's also assume that you have set up Route 66 using the pattern story/{itemAlias}. The generated URL will be story/have-a-nice-day . URLs like the following which lead to the same item will get redirected to story/have-a-nice-day:

• index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=9:have-a-nice-day
• component/k2/item/9-have-a-nice-day
• menu-alias/item/9-have-a-nice-day

For optimal SEO, Route 66 automatically adds the canonical url to the page header. This is especially important when pages utilize query and/or anchor variables appended to the URL (story/have-a-nice-day?modal=welcome ).

Google PageSpeed

Route 66 can optimize your site to achieve a high score at Google PageSpeed! Route 66 follows the Google PageSpeed recommendations to make your Joomla K2 site get ranked high by Google.

Facebook Instant Articles

Route 66 now supports Facebook Instant Articles! It allows you to generate a feed of Facebook Instant Articles based on your site's K2 Items. You can also filter the feed items based on categories. Finally, Route 66 comes with built-in integration for Google Analytics and Google DFP!

XML Sitemaps

Make it easier for Google and other search engines to discover your site content with XML sitemaps. Route 66 can generate those sitemaps for you! It allows you to filter the sitemap content based on categories. The sitemap can include entries from K2 Items and Menu items.
