Introduction

Generator Tag, Title Management, MetaData, Content Optimization

EFSEO is an SEO extension for Joomla! with which you can control all important metadata manually and automatically. The handling of the metadata in Joomla! has never been so easy!


With the plugin, you may change and add meta information (title, description, keywords, generator and robots) easily in the frontend and with the component in the backend. It does not matter which component you use. The plugin is active on every page of a Joomla! website and may be used correspondingly.

The entered data can be stored directly in the core tables. The tables for the articles and menu entries are supported. The saved data is independent of the URL structure and the plugin itself. The metadata remains available if you change the URL structure and even if you uninstall the extension.

In the Automatic mode, the metadata of specified extensions is generated automatically from the data of the loaded page or in general from the plugin settings! The great advantage of EFSEO, compared with other extensions that also automatically generate metadata, is the direct influence on the generated metadata. You can manipulate and store it in the frontend. This gives the user the greatest possible freedom! In addition, the loading process is quicker because the same data must not be recalculated on every page load.

See the project page for expert tips and operating instructions. With all features, EFSEO is definitely one of the best SEO extensions for Joomla!.

I use this extension in my joomla 2.5 site. I really was impressed with functionality and usability! I like the way to put descriptions directly on the frontend with popup or panel. Everything is perfect, except one issue: after translate in other language, filed data can't be saved. Also I wanted to put Easy Frontend SEO in joomla 3 site, but unfortunately it still only for testing purposes. So, I waiting for stable release!



Thank Viktor for this great work, and share with us!
Owner's reply: Thank you very much for your review!
This extensions works very good. I am able to edit all, really all, metadata of my complete website.



The big disadvantage is that the database table of this extensions grows very fast. Now my table has a size of about 125 MiB! I am using this extenion in combination of virtuemart. To compage: the products language table just has a size of 400 KiB,

Great!!!!

This a really cool plugin. The video tutorial said it all. Nice music too
Owner's reply: Thank you for your review! :-)
I've just managed to install, setup and use this extension for what I wanted in 15 minutes. I spent 45 minutes searching a solution to allow me to edit the meta data for certain component pages (the answer - you can't!). This extension solved my problem and has blown me away in the process - I can't believe how simple this is when it's so complicated to achieve within components own config area. I agree with other reviewers that the ability to edit the h1 tags on a page would be the cherry on top of the cake.
Owner's reply: Thank you very much for your review!

Very good plugin, simple, fast and effective. Simply brilliant. Congrats to the developer!
Owner's reply: Thank you very much for your review!
yes i agree my title is strange but this plugin is one of the most powerfull tool for joomla

i think it could be improved with h1 and h2 edit features, add schema.org in page.

thank you
Owner's reply: Thank you very much for your review!

EFSEO does what it has to do. If you wish more features, then please contact me via the contact form with a detailed description! Thank you.
I´ve been trying this extension for a few days and i find it extremelly usefull, time saving and really helpfull, i just love the front end feature, just a recomendation for maybe later versions, maybe adding a feature so you are able to put some words you want of title, metas, or description in html tags like "bold" or spetially "strong" tag, that will be IMHO a more powerfull SEO extension, Thanks Viktor for your hard work and for share this extension with us.

Cheers!!!
Owner's reply: Thank you very much for your review!
Kubik you are the man... Even though EFSEO dropdown not working I got the concept by seeing the video.

btw I have few doubts

1) What are the default setting because i messed it up quite a lot

2)Explain Use relative URLs,Compatibility mode

3) What's the minimum donation(jobless boy here, have to look after Girl Friend)



I LOVE YOU MAN

THE BEST JOOMLA SEO PLUGIN



Posted on 20 February 2013
Amazing i use it and for sure it is the best joomla plugin for great seo

thank you
Owner's reply: Nice! Have success with Easy Frontend SEO.
I have always taken SEO work seriously and have tried many tools to make it an efficient and easy job.



I first used the paid version of AceSEF, It was cumbersome. Later I switched to SmartSEO - a huge mistake, I lost hours and hours of SEO work with that buggy extension.



I have now been using EFSEO for two months. NOT A SINGLE PROBLEM. It is easy and works PERFECTLY.



The fact that is saves the SEO information to the core database is key to its value and function, the other extensions that I used did not and that was a large part of their downfall.



Would it be possible to add H1 editing to EFSEO as well?



My only complaint is that I wish the developer had a support option that was instance (3-5) limited instead of time limited. I would like to send some money for future support but do not expect to use it in the next 31 days before it would expire.



-John
Owner's reply: Hello John,

thank you very much for your review!

I will soon release a great free update for EFSEO:

- Backend component to edit the entries directly
- Use relative URLs to identify the entries - independent of domain changes
- Collect URLs automatically for the backend component

Then EFSEO will be even better than it is already! ;-)

Please contact me via the contact form with more details for the H1 editing feature.

Thank you for your suggestion. Yes, I also plan to change the subscription packages, so I will think about the lifetime subscription!
