An SEO extension by Firecoders: SEF URL patterns, a crawler that checks metadata, SEO and readability scores in the editor, XML sitemaps and lazy loading for media.
Route 66 by Firecoders brings the main search optimisation tasks for a Joomla site into a single extension. It fits blogs, news sites and shops that want controlled page URLs, metadata checks and sitemaps without stacking separate plugins. The JED text is largely promotional, so only the concrete functions are listed here.
Features
- SEF URL patterns for articles, categories, products and other pages.
- A site crawler that reports missing or duplicate metadata, slow pages and oversized HTML.
- SEO and readability scores shown inside the article editor.
- XML and Google News sitemaps, including image and video entries.
- Lazy loading for images and videos, lighter video embeds and CSS optimisation.
- robots.txt management and bulk editing of SEO data from the administrator.
Compatibility
- Joomla 3, 4, 5 and 6.
- Current version 2.5.0, last updated in JED on 17 September 2026.
- The free version includes core SEO tools, URL patterns, a crawler limited to 30 pages and essential sitemaps. PRO removes the crawl limit, adds command line crawling, text and metadata generation via OpenAI, Anthropic or Google, robots.txt history and support for more components.
