MRC Performance
I have been in business for over 10 Years and recently moved to AGR Technology for all our IT needs. They are able to fix nearly anything remotely and always very helpful in recommending appropriate hardware upgrades that do the job as required but not costing more than needed.
Alessio provided an excellent service. He was very dedicated in his method of finding solutions to problems. He continued to try different avenues until he found the reason as to why a particular application was not working. He was very knowledgeable in his understanding of the internet and of applications and how they work, and he was able to apply this knowledge in understanding how to resolve the obstacles that continued to appear. He is understanding towards his client's needs and goals and he is willing to work with his client in achieving those goals. He is a very polite and well mannered person and very calm and gentle in his approach. I would highly recommend Alessio's services to anyone.

Alessio from AGR Technology has recently helped me create a website for my business.
Throughout the whole process from start to finish Alessio made the process easy for me, by calling me and explaining each step of the way. I'm not very computer savvy, but with Alessio taking the time to explain in detail everything I needed to know from putting inventory in to having it shipped. He even remotely joined my computer to help guide me through everything.
He's very knowledgeable and is experienced in everything I needed and if there was anything else I needed to know that wasn't something he was familiar with, he researched it.
I would HIGHLY recommend Alessio to anyone. He has not only helped me for now but I know that if I ever needed help with anything else he would definitely go above and beyond to help. Thank you so much for everything you have done. It's been a long process but well worth it 🙂

What Is A Joomla SEO Plugin?
A Joomla SEO plugin is an extension that adds search controls to Joomla CMS across metadata, crawling, rendering, and structured data. It centralises tasks like meta templates, canonical tags, XML sitemaps, robots rules, redirects, breadcrumbs, and schema.org markup. It also supports Open Graph, Twitter Cards, and hreflang for multilingual sites. Google supports these technical elements as part of discoverability, crawling, and rich results, see Search Central docs on sitemaps, structured data, and canonical URLs (https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/sitemaps, https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/search-gallery, https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/consolidate-duplicate-urls).

Technical SEO Essentials
We tighten the technical foundations that search engines trust. We set up your Joomla SEO plugin, then we verify each control with Google’s tools.
Indexation And Crawl Control
Indexation and crawl control prevent bloat and wasted crawl budget.
- Configure robots.txt and robots meta tags to guide crawlers across Joomla components, media, and query parameters
- Exclude duplicate, thin, and utility paths like /component/, /tags/, and search results to protect crawl equity
- Generate XML sitemaps per content type with JSitemap or 4SEO to improve discovery across large catalogs
- Submit and monitor sitemaps in Google Search Console to track coverage and indexation status
- Map and enforce 301 redirects for legacy URLs to preserve link equity after Joomla 3 to Joomla 4 migrations
- Validate directives with Google’s robots testing tool to catch blocked CSS or JS that affects rendering
Sources: Google Search Central robots.txt documentation, XML sitemaps documentation.
HTTPS, Canonicals, And Pagination
HTTPS, canonicals, and pagination controls remove duplication and pass authority to the preferred URL.
- Enforce HTTPS sitewide via HSTS and redirect rules to consolidate signals on secure URLs
- Set canonical tags in OSMeta or 4SEO to resolve duplicates across print views, parameters, and filtered category pages
- Configure hreflang for multilingual Joomla sites to align regional URLs with language variants
- Standardize trailing slashes and case to prevent soft duplicates across menus and aliases
- Implement self-referencing canonicals on primary templates to anchor the canonical cluster
- Structure paginated series with consistent titles and rel=canonical to the current page for clarity
- Provide clear prev and next links in the UI for UX and crawlers even though Google no longer uses rel=prev/next for indexing
Sources: Google canonicals guide, Google hreflang guide, Google pagination guidance.
Core Web Vitals And Page Speed
Core Web Vitals and page speed drive user experience and rankings across mobile and desktop.
- Optimize Largest Contentful Paint by serving compressed hero images, preloading key assets, and enabling server caching

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Joomla SEO plugin?
A Joomla SEO plugin helps you manage titles, meta descriptions, URLs, schema markup, sitemaps, and more from one place. It cleans up messy pages, adds structured data, and improves crawlability. The result is better relevance signals and easier discovery by search engines.
Why should I use a Joomla SEO plugin?
It saves time, fixes common SEO gaps, and centralizes tasks like meta templates, canonical tags, XML sitemaps, and redirects. You’ll get cleaner URLs, faster pages, improved crawl efficiency, and better eligibility for rich results.
How do I choose the right Joomla SEO plugin?
Check compatibility with your Joomla version and server. Review features to avoid overlap, test site speed and Core Web Vitals, and confirm active updates, documentation, and support. Security and vendor maintenance are critical.
What features matter most in a Joomla SEO plugin?
Look for metadata management, clean URL controls, canonical tags, schema markup, XML sitemaps, image optimization, redirects, robots.txt editing, and performance checks. Automation and templates for titles and descriptions are a bonus.
How do I set up a Joomla SEO plugin correctly?
Install the plugin, run the setup wizard, and configure meta templates, canonicals, robots rules, and sitemap generation. Enable clean URLs, map redirects, and validate with Google Search Console and PageSpeed Insights. Test key pages before rolling sitewide.
What is schema markup and why use it?
Schema markup adds structured data that helps search engines understand your content. It can unlock rich results (stars, FAQs, breadcrumbs), improve relevance, and boost click-through rates. Apply it to articles, products, FAQs, and local business pages.
Do I need XML sitemaps for Joomla?
Yes. Sitemaps help search engines discover and index your pages faster. Segment by content type, exclude noindex URLs, and submit to Google Search Console and Bing. Monitor coverage and fix errors regularly.
How should I handle redirects during a Joomla 3 to 4 migration?
Plan URL mapping ahead. Use 301 redirects for permanent moves and 410 for gone content. Preserve key parameters, avoid redirect chains, and test top pages. Update internal links to the new URLs to keep equity flowing.
Will a plugin replace ongoing SEO work?
No. A plugin helps implement best practices, but you still need quality content, keyword research, internal linking, and technical upkeep. Regular audits, updates, and performance checks are essential for lasting results.
How can AGR Technology help with Joomla SEO?
AGR Technology configures and optimizes Joomla SEO plugins, runs audits, sets up schema and sitemaps, fixes indexing issues, tunes Core Web Vitals, and builds action plans. They also provide ongoing support, monitoring, and reporting.
How do I improve Core Web Vitals on Joomla?
Optimize images (WebP, compression), enable caching and CDN, defer non-critical scripts, minimize CSS/JS, lazy-load media, and remove heavy extensions. Test with Lighthouse and fix Largest Contentful Paint, CLS, and INP issues.
How do I optimize titles, meta descriptions, and headings?
Use unique, clear titles with primary keywords near the start. Write persuasive meta descriptions to drive clicks. Keep one H1 per page, aligned with the title, and use H2/H3s to structure topics. Avoid duplication and fluff.
What’s the role of internal linking in Joomla SEO?
Internal links pass authority, aid discovery, and connect related topics. Use descriptive anchor text, link to cornerstone pages, and keep navigation clean. Review orphan pages and add links where relevant.
How do I track SEO results on Joomla?
Integrate GA4 and Google Search Console. Monitor organic sessions, non-brand clicks, impressions, click-through rate, indexed pages, Core Web Vitals, and error reports. Set annotations for changes and review trendlines monthly.
How long does it take to see results?
Simple fixes (titles, sitemaps, redirects) can show impact in weeks. Larger gains from content and technical improvements often take 2–3 months or more, depending on crawl frequency, competition, and site size. Regular updates speed progress.
