Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 18 of the 78 other SEO plugins and apps we grade
4SEO is a Joomla extension from Weeblr that crawls the site in the background and handles most on-site SEO in one place: titles and descriptions, canonical tags, structured data, social sharing tags, XML sitemaps, redirects, error pages and broken-link reports. It connects to Google Search Console to surface keyword and page opportunities, measures Core Web Vitals from real visitors, and can publish Markdown pages and an llms.txt file for AI assistants.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about 4SEO, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It's an extension for your own Joomla site, and Search Console needs connecting before the keyword and page lists fill up.
- 1
Best for most on-site SEO on Joomla in one extension
There's no free edition or trial, and it runs on Joomla only.
- 2
Paid plans start at $7.92 a month when paid by the year
As its pricing page puts it: $95 per year for up to 3 sites.
- 3
It runs on Web
Web.
- 4
Background site crawl
Crawls the site like a search engine to find duplicate URLs, add canonical links, flag duplicate titles and descriptions, and list broken links and PHP errors.
- 5
Search Console insights
Pulls keywords and pages from Google Search Console into keyword and page opportunity lists, a cannibalization report and a position tracker covering up to 16 months.
- 6
Titles and descriptions
Set the title, description and robots tags of any page in one place, with a live Google results preview, from the admin or from the front end.
- 7
A 2.2 GPA, above 18 of 78
That is against the other SEO plugins and apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
Keep it
To replace 4SEO you would be making search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for most on-site SEO on Joomla in one extension
4SEO crawls a Joomla site in the background and handles titles, canonicals, structured data, social tags, sitemaps, redirects and broken links in one place, with Search Console opportunities and Core Web Vitals from real visitors. It's $95 a year for up to 3 sites. There's no free edition or trial, and it runs on Joomla only.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | $95 a year for up to 3 sites, about $7.92 a month, inside this category's $8.25 cheaper quarter. It doesn't renew on its own and keeps working after a year. PRO for unlimited sites is $249 a year. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free edition and no stated trial. Weeblr's free tools, such as the SEOInfo browser extension, are separate products. |
| Features | B | A background crawl for duplicates and broken links, titles and robots tags with a Google preview, structured data, social tags, llms.txt, Core Web Vitals from real visitors, sitemaps with IndexNow, redirects, error pages and Search Console keyword lists. It covers the whole job. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It's an extension for your own Joomla site, and Search Console needs connecting before the keyword and page lists fill up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, inside Joomla 3 to 6, with Google Search Console, Google Analytics, IndexNow, Microsoft Clarity, Matomo, HikaShop and VirtueMart. No phone or desktop app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who 4SEO is for
- Fits if your Joomla site wants one extension instead of several SEO add-ons
- Works for site owners who plan content from Search Console data
Who it is not for
- Skip it if your site isn't on Joomla, as that's all it runs on
- Not for you if you want to try it first, since there's no free edition or stated trial
- Pricey if you run more than 3 sites, as unlimited sites need PRO at $249 a year
- Watch out: it keeps working after a year, but downloads and helpdesk access stop until you renew
Good to know

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace 4SEO you would be making search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 46 of the 78 other SEO plugins and apps grade higher. It costs $95 a year.
What you could make
- Schema markup: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- A score built from what the top results for each keyword cover.
- A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
- Speed tests run from real browsers on a schedule.
- The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
- It plugs into other products, Joomla, Google Search Console and IndexNow among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. 4SEO’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
