Users Manual¶
With this extension editors can easily set some advanced properties for SEO in the page settings. With the Google search result preview the editor can see the effects of some properties directly.
Without this extension it is a problem that the speaking URL changes also, when the editor changes a page title. The page is not available with the old URL anymore. So now when the user creates a new page, the RealURL path segment will be set automatically.
We also change the max characters settings in some fields so that they are not too long for search results. Furthermore the new configurations are good explained. You can see the explanation as usual by hovering the label.

FAQ¶
Do I have to insert open graph and twitter cards properties always? The title, description and an image should be available on every page. The title is default given by the page title. You can set the description in the SEO tab. A default image for sharing can be set by the open graph image field in the Social Media tab.
Why there are no extra fields for the sitemap.xml configuration? The more an editor can configure, the more confused he is. Therefore we decide to use the no index field to exclude a page / record from the sitemap, too. The priority and the change frequency were usually ignored by editors and are also not very important for Google etc.
