There are many factors that affect your website's ranking in the search results of Search Engines (Google, Bing). There are the factors you should improve:
- Page Speed
- Domain Age, URL, and Authority
- Optimized Content
- Mobile Friendliness
- SiteMap
In this article, I will introduce extensions to help improve rankings for websites using Joomla platform:
sh404SEF - URL SEF
This extension rewrites the URL, making it more search engine friendly.
Example: mysite.com/index.php?option=com_content&Itemid=69&id=34 -> mysite.com/en/sh404SEF-and-url-rewriting/list-of-available-plugins.html but it does in a way that prevent Joomla standard SEF duplicate content issues.

When run, after just a second or two *K2 to Content Migration* shows:
It is estimated that **82** articles and **8** categories will be imported into Joomla Content.
I set *Process K2 Intro Image* to *Both*
Upon **Import Now**, I see: success: 25, failure: 0
--- LOG FILE ---
There is no further indications on the K2 to Content Migration Administration page even if I let it 'run' for 30 minutes.
Number of K2 Items: 82, Number of K2 categories: 9
Number of original articles: 15, Number of original categories: 1
Number of articles after attempted migration: 65, Number of categories after attempted migration: 17
I ran the extension twice. Apparently the converted articles and categories were duplicated. The log file only has this content: --- LOG FILE ---
There was no success message or any indication that the process was finished. It dies silently. Can this extension be repaired?
