Customizable Joomla SEF URLs
4SEF URLs are fixed, predictable and independent from the Joomla menu structure. Finally change your menu and navigation without all links being broken.
SEF URLs are generated automatically but any single of them can be manually customized to exactly what you want and need.
4SEF creates SEF URLS in the exact same way as sh404SEF, our previous SEF URL extension.
4SEF works the same on Joomla 3, 4 & 5.
4SEF is the continuation of our 15 years of work on Joomla SEF URLs with sh404SEF. sh404SEF is likely the longest running Joomla SEO extension still active today but it was not ready to make the jump from Joomla 3 to Joomla 4/5.
4SEF was developed to only focus on SEF URLs. It provides what we call SEF URLs continuity, meaning that Joomla 3 sites running sh404SEF can start using 4SEF today and keep their site SEF URLs as before.
Updating to Joomla 4/5 now becomes easy, as 4SEF works on either platforms.
But just maintaining SEF URLs would have been a lost opportunity, so 4SEF is also faster, uses less database space, is easier to use and provides the same modern user experience we now all expect from an application.
4SEF only deals with SEF URLs and for anything else SEO, there's 4SEO, the all-in-one Joomla SEO extension.
Fixed, predictable and configurable Joomla SEF URLs
- SEF URLS are based on content titles and categories, not menu items
- Change the site menu: URLs will not change anymore, you don't lose your SEO signals
- No need to create menu items for each article at all
- Content linked from different places always the same URL, no more duplicates
- Many options to configure URLs: with or without categories, ids, date,...
Any Joomla SEF URL can be customized
- Customize a SEF URL by just clicking on it in the list
- A redirect is automatically created from the previous version to the new, so you don't lose SEO signals
SEF URLs continuity from sh404SEF
- 4SEF creates the same SEF URLs as sh404SEF, with only rare exceptions
- The 4SEF import wizard can import sh404SEF custom and automatic SEF URLs
- Import is best done while still on Joomla 3
