- Page frequency: is used to indicate search engines how often is the page content updated - hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or never. By default, the page frequency value is set to weekly.
- Page priority: is used in the XML sitemap, to indicate search engines the importance of a certain page within the entire website. You can choose from 0 to 1.0, where 0 is less important and 1.0 is considered the most important page. By default, RSSeo! sets the page priority to 0.5
- Canonical page: starting with revision 12, RSSeo! allows you to choose the canonical version of a certain page, by including in the header of each non-canonical URL the rel="canonical" attribute. This is usefull when you want to remove duplicate Joomla! content and consolidate the Page Rank of a single page.
For mode details, you can check the below video tutorial. - Robots: you can use on each crawled page the meta robots tag to indicate search engines robots which page should or should't be indexed. These are the default values:
- Index, Follow: Yes/No/Off - if set to yes, the page content will be indexed and followed by the search engines robots
- Archive: Yes/No/Off - if set to no, the search engines won't archive a copy of the page (won't display the cache version).
- Snippet: Yes/No/Off - if set to no, the search engines won't display the page snippet
- ODP: Yes/No/Off - if set to no, all the information submitted to the Open Directory Project won't be used in the title and description of the page.

Besides this, some additional RSSeo! checks can be performed. For each of these items additional information and explanation will be displayed:
- Search Friendly URL: The page URL is (not) search engine friendly! Search Engines prefer pages without dynamic parameters. Use an extension for Joomla!/default SEO parameters to make URLs more friendly and get a better index on search engine results page.
- Duplicate title tags: All the pages on your website should have unique page titles.
- Title tag length: Google uses the title tag to display the page in search results. Try to use more than 10 characters and create a unique title that will reflect accurately its content.
- Duplicate meta description: All the pages on your website should have unique page meta descriptions.
- Meta description tag length: Try to use more than 70 characters (including spaces) and create an unique meta description that will reflect accurately its content.
- Number of meta keywords: Try to limit the meta keywords of each page around 10 keywords. Some search engines may ignore the rest of the keywords.
- Headings: Headings are important because they announce search engines what will be the content underneath them.
- Images without the alt attribute: Try to limit the number of images to around 10 on each page.
- Images without the height or width attribute: Google guidelines recommend to use the "alt" attribute, describing accurately in a few words the image. Don't abuse it by using too many words because Google might consider this a spam method.
- Images with descriptive names: Setting the width and height attributes of an image will speed up page loading and improve the user experience.
- Keyword Density: Since RSSEO! revision 10, you can also calculate the density of your keywords on a specific page. All you need to do is enter the keyword(s) you want to calculate the density for in the "Calculate keyword density for" field and click Apply. The result will be displayed at the bottom of the page in this field.
Check for page loading time and page size
- Page loading time: Search engines recommend to reduce the page loading time to make the web faster.
- Page size: When this value is minimum, the page loading time will decrease. This item can be further checked by providing a report on loaded elements (in miliseconds) for the page in question.
