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.

The built in SEO capabilities of Joomla 3 are quite good, but it can be a time consuming process getting it all right, for example if you wanted to edit the meta tile and description for your menus, you would need to open up each one individually, go to the Page Display tab to edit the Browser Page Title, then go to the Metadata tab to update the Meta Description, then save and close, and repeat for each menu item. BF SEO can save you heaps of time by giving you all these fields on a single screen, and allow you to quickly update all your meta data in one go. It supports K2 articles and categories, and allows you to quickly and easily update metadata for multiple items via a single screen.

What you will really love is the fact that it places the data in the core Joomla tables directly and does not hold the data in the extension, so this really is a speedy centralisation of SEO tasks.

You will also enjoy the Joomla config check, the green ticks will show you what you are doing right, and the red crosses will help you learn basic Joomla SEO that may have alluded you in the past, and you will have the satisfaction of seeing those crosses turn to ticks once you've adjusted the settings.

With BF SEO you can:
-Support for K2 articles and categories
-Generate Meta Tags automatically (articles). Our software is smarter than most meta generators which just pick the first part of the text, ours actually analyses the keywords used and selects the most appropriate text. Of course you can still manually edit if required.
-Change meta tags (title & description) on single page for menus, articles and categories.
-Check for duplicate meta data
-Audit your Joomla SEO configuration and recommend changes
-Page Check Tool. Check any internal or external page
-Robots.txt Tool. Check to make sure your site has a Robots.txt file, and create one if needed. Make sure changes since Joomla 3.3 have been applied. Integrated editor so you can make changes as needed.
-.htaccess Tool. Check to make sure your site has a .htaccess file, and create one if needed. View the contents of your .htaccess file
-Sitemap Tool. Check if your site has a sitemap.xml, and create one if needed. Dynamically builds sitemap based on your menu selection.
