Switching between extensions and modules while updating the website metadata is very time consuming and this extension saved me enormous amounts of time. AceSEF is my favorite SEO extension for Joomla which gives me amazing power in configuring and customizing on-site and technical SEO. There are other options out there, but from my experience, this is the one I like most.

What is AceSEF?

AceSEF is a flexible and powerful SEF (search engine friendly) URLs, Metadata, Sitemap and Tags generator with an easy-to-use graphical user interface that simplifies the management of your site SEO friendliness.

AceSEF supports Joom!Fish integration for multilingual websites, comes with options you can set automatically or manually to generate things such as the metadata or sitemaps, it is also written 100% in a modular way so each component has its own settings.

To provide maximum flexibility, AceSEF uses a plug-in system that allows SEO support for all Joomla components. They are called “AceSEF extensions”.
