One of my favorite extensions. It's on a very high level, for certain the best sef-extension I have ever used. Using it for years now.
Ease of use
Set up is easy. If you want more, you have to read the documentation. That's because the extension has a lot of possibilities.

Best Extension I Have Bought This Year



Posted on 02 November 2017
Functionality
Very crisp functions, No problems whatsoever.
Ease of use
A bit of a learning curve in some respects, but once I grasped the terminology, easy !!
Support
Execellent. Fast and straight to the point.
Documentation
Well written, and complete.
Value for money
Saved me loads of time in relation to redirects - for me the extension provided excellent value for money
I used this to: I completely redesigned a real estate website which had a vast amount of duplicate content. Having transferred the property listings to the new site sh404sef helped with the required redirects and eliminated as far as possible the duplicate content issue.
Owner's reply: Hi there,

Thanks very much for your kind comments! Good to see sh404SEF helped you with redirects among other things. I just wanted to mention that we have kept working on that. Next version, due within a week or so, will have a vastly expanded redirects feature, with wildcards and such. Should prevent having to use .htaccess in most cases.

Cheers

Great compoent

Sophisticated tool that works without any flaws. Controlling URLs, SEO, redirects, 404 errors, security from a single extension.
Ease of use
Relative ease to use once you get the basic understanding of what's going on under the hood of the extension and Joomla
Support
I rarely needed the support - but when that happened the support was there and helpful.
Value for money
Definitely worths the money.
I used this to: any larger website where I need extended control over their URLs structure or other SEO related needs. It gives me the flexibility I am missing in Joomla.

Perfekter Support



Posted on 21 February 2017
Functionality
Die Componente funktioniert einwandfrei. Leider ist K2 Funktionalität nicht mehr implementiert und als seperates Plugin zu erwerben
Ease of use
in Deutscher Sprache wäre die Componente um einiges benutzerfreiundlicher. Sonst gibt es aber nichts auszusetzen.
Support
Einfach super. Schnell wurde mir geholfen und selbst als sich das K2-sh404SEF Plugin nicht installieren ließ hat man weiter geholfen.
Documentation
wrde von mir nicht weiter getestet
Value for money
angemessen
