JT SEO Control Center is a Joomla! SEO management package that helps site owners, administrators and developers manage essential SEO tasks from one clean dashboard.

Instead of jumping between multiple screens or extensions, you can audit Joomla! articles, review SEO scores, edit metadata in bulk, generate XML sitemaps, manage multilingual sitemap output, track 404 errors and create redirects from a single administrator panel.

Main Features

SEO Dashboard

JT SEO Control Center gives you a central overview of your Joomla! SEO status. The dashboard highlights article scores, metadata issues, sitemap status, multilingual sitemap output, redirect tools, 404 logs and system health checks.

Article SEO Audit

Find articles that need SEO attention faster. The audit checks published Joomla! articles for common issues such as missing descriptions, short or long metadata, missing images, noindex directives, duplicate aliases, low word count and canonical overrides.

Article SEO Scores

Each article receives a practical SEO score to help editors understand what should be improved first. The weakest articles are shown first, making it easier to prioritize optimization work.

SEO scores are editorial guidance only and are not a search engine ranking guarantee.

Bulk Meta Manager

Edit SEO fields for multiple articles from one dashboard section. The Bulk Meta Manager focuses on articles that need attention, includes pagination, search and filters, and keeps advanced fields available when needed.

Editable fields include:

• SEO title override
• SEO description override
• Robots index directive
• Robots follow directive
• Canonical URL override
• Open Graph image override

Bulk saves only update JT SEO override fields. Joomla! article titles and article body content are not changed.

CSV Import and Export

Export article SEO data to CSV, edit supported SEO override columns in a spreadsheet, preview the import and then apply changes safely.

Useful for large Joomla! websites, agencies and administrators who prefer spreadsheet-based SEO workflows.

XML Sitemap Generator

Generate XML sitemaps for Joomla! content and optionally create a physical sitemap.xml file in the Joomla! root folder.

Sitemap features include homepage support, published article inclusion, noindex exclusion, menu noindex exclusion, fallback URL exclusion, configurable article limits, multilingual sitemap support and paginated sitemap output.

If a Joomla! menu item is marked as noindex, that menu path and its child URLs can be excluded from the generated sitemap. For example, if /tag is marked as noindex, URLs under /tag/* can also be removed from sitemap output.

Multilingual Sitemap Support

JT SEO Control Center supports multilingual Joomla! websites using multiple published content languages.

On multilingual websites, sitemap.xml can work as a master sitemap index and point to dedicated sitemap files for each published language.

Example multilingual sitemap files:

• sitemap.en-GB.1.xml
• sitemap.tr-TR.1.xml

Language-specific sitemap files help search engines discover the correct URLs for each language version of the website.

Sitemap Pagination

For larger websites, JT SEO Control Center can split sitemap output into multiple paginated sitemap files.

For example, if a language has more URLs than the configured maximum links per sitemap file, the sitemap index can point to multiple files such as:

• sitemap.en-GB.1.xml
• sitemap.en-GB.2.xml

This helps keep sitemap files organized and suitable for larger multilingual Joomla! websites.

404 Tracking

Track real frontend 404 requests and review them inside the dashboard. Logged data can help you identify broken URLs, missing pages and old links that need redirects.

Privacy-friendly logging options are available for query strings, referrers and user agents.

Redirect Manager

Create and manage redirect rules directly from the dashboard. Redirect important broken URLs to relevant pages and help visitors and search engines reach the correct content.

Supported redirect statuses:

• 301 Moved Permanently
• 302 Found
• 307 Temporary Redirect
• 308 Permanent Redirect
• 410 Gone

Canonical URL Management

Output clean canonical URLs for frontend pages and use article-level canonical overrides when a page has a preferred URL different from the current Joomla! route.

Open Graph and Twitter Card Metadata

Improve social sharing previews with Open Graph and Twitter Card metadata. JT SEO Control Center can use article images, custom Open Graph image overrides and a global fallback image.

Article Edit Form SEO Fields

The included content plugin adds a JT SEO fieldset to Joomla! article edit forms, allowing editors to manage SEO title, SEO description, canonical URL, robots directives and Open Graph image overrides while editing content.

Live Article SEO Score

Editors can review a live SEO score while editing Joomla! articles. The score checks title length, description status, image availability, robots settings, word count and canonical usage.

Structured Data Preview

Preview how Joomla! site and article data can map to common JSON-LD types such as Organization, WebSite, Article and BreadcrumbList.

This release uses safe preview mode and does not automatically inject duplicate JSON-LD into the frontend.

System Status Checks

Check whether the required plugins are enabled, sitemap generation is available, multilingual sitemap output is configured, database tables exist and the extension schema is healthy.
