  1. RealReviews.io - Reviews Widget brings authentic, verified
    

    customer reviews from RealReviews.io straight onto your Joomla website. Social proof
    is one of the strongest levers you have: shoppers trust other shoppers, and a
    visible wall of real ratings reassures first-time visitors, reduces hesitation at
    the point of decision, and turns browsers into buyers. This module lets you place
    that social proof exactly where it matters — in any template position, on any
    page — in just a couple of minutes, with no coding required.

    Unlike review plugins that inject third-party JavaScript into your site, this
    module renders each widget inside a single, sandboxed iframe. That means
    the widget can never clash with your template's CSS, slow down your page with
    extra scripts, or interfere with the rest of your site. You get clean, reliable
    review displays that stay fast and stable no matter which Joomla template you run.

    Why add reviews to your site?

    Build instant trust — genuine customer ratings show new
    visitors that real people stand behind your business.
    Boost conversions — social proof near calls-to-action,
    product pages, and checkouts helps visitors commit.
    Show, don't tell — let your happiest customers do the
    selling with their own words and star ratings.
    Stay authentic — reviews come straight from your verified
    RealReviews.io profile, so what visitors see is real.

    Key features

    Native Joomla 4 & 5 module — built with the modern
    namespaced module architecture, not a legacy wrapper. Drops into any
    template position your theme exposes.
    Five ready-made widget styles — choose the layout that fits
    the space, from a compact trust badge to a full feedback panel.
    Three colour themes — Standard, Dark, and Light, so the
    widget blends into any design.
    Per-instance configuration — publish as many copies as you
    like, each with its own Business ID, template, theme, and position. Show a
    compact badge in the header and a full carousel in the footer at the same
    time.
    No external scripts — everything loads inside a single
    lightweight, lazy-loaded iframe. Nothing is injected into your page's DOM,
    so there are no script conflicts and no performance hit on first paint.
    Privacy-friendly — the module collects no visitor data
    itself; it simply embeds your public RealReviews.io widget.
    Free & open source — released under the GNU GPL v2,
    the same license as Joomla.
    Translation-ready — all interface strings use Joomla's
    language system and ship with British English (en-GB).

    Widget templates
    Pick from five carefully sized layouts. Each template automatically sets the
    correct dimensions, so the widget always looks right:

    TemplateBest forSize
    
    
    Widget (Short)A compact trust badge for headers, sidebars, or tight spaces200 × 80

    How it works

    Install this module and create a new instance.
    Paste in your Business ID, choose a template and theme, and assign a
    position.
    Publish — your reviews are live. The widget always reflects your latest
    reviews automatically; there is nothing to sync or update by hand.

    Installation

    In Joomla admin, go to System → Install → Extensions
    and upload the package zip.
    Go to Content → Site Modules → New and choose
    RealReviews.io - Reviews Widget.
    Enter your Business ID, pick a template and theme, assign a
    module position, and set the status to Published.
    Save and view your site — the widget appears in the chosen position.

    Requirements

    Joomla 4.0+ (compatible with Joomla 4.x and 5.x)
    PHP 7.4 or newer
    A free RealReviews.io
    account to obtain your Business ID

    Privacy & data
    The module renders an iframe pointing at https://realreviews.io/api,
    passing only your Business ID, the chosen theme, and the selected template. The
    module itself stores and transmits no personal visitor data. Reviews are served
    directly by RealReviews.io. See the
    RealReviews.io
    website for its privacy policy.

  2. A clean SEO dashboard for Joomla! Audit articles, manage metadata, generate XML sitemaps, track 404 errors and create redirects from one administrator panel.

    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, 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, 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 an XML sitemap 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, fallback URL exclusion and configurable article limits.

    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, database tables exist and the extension schema is healthy.

    Why Use JT SEO Control Center?

    JT SEO Control Center is designed for practical Joomla! SEO workflows:

    • Find low-scoring articles quickly
    • Fix missing metadata faster
    • Manage SEO fields without editing article content
    • Generate and review XML sitemaps
    • Track 404 errors
    • Create redirects from broken URLs
    • Keep essential SEO tools in one dashboard

    • Content Plugin: JT SEO Control Center

    Requirements

    • Joomla! 6.x

    **What is Zen Shortcodes Pro? **Zen Shortcodes Pro is the modern, secure replacement for PHP-injection plugins like Sourcerer (retired from Joomla 6).

    Content Plugin: Silently scans every article and replaces [zen
    ...] tags with the corresponding HTML stored in the database.
    16 FREE Shortcodes — Available Immediately
    No backend configuration needed. All FREE shortcodes are accessible from the editor modal the moment the plugin is enabled, organised in three categories:

    🎨 UI Elements (6): Alert / Notice, Button, Tooltip, Highlighted Text, Bootstrap 5 Tabs, Bootstrap 5 Accordion

    🧩 Multiple Shortcodes from the Same Template: Create two Timelines with different accent colors, or three Hero Sections with different content — each gets a unique tag and is completely independent.

    ⚡ 8 Advanced PRO Elements: Call-to-Action section, Testimonial card, Live Countdown timer, Pricing table with plans, Animated progress bars, Code block with syntax highlighting, Inline article embed, Universal conditional wrapper.

    💾 Preset System & Export/Import JSON: Save named configurations for reuse in the modal, and export/import shortcode configurations as JSON between sites.
