New in version 0.2.1: Router Tools

These new Router Tools help you *RETAIN AND GAIN* your Search Engine ranking and availability of your web sites pages from back-links en Social Media platforms!
Switching to the new (Experimental) router with (or without) Remove IDs will for sure break your web site's Search Engine ranking when no precautionairy measures are taken. Also switching will result in broken links when trying to access your pages from back-links on other websites and Social Media (like Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Google+, etc.).

The component functions as a 'single home' for the configuration of all och plugins (ochJssocials, ochFitvids, ochCall2Action, ...)

The Basictools (system) plugin helps you (semi) automate the tweaking and tuning of the most important SEO parameters!
With 'one click of the button' you can test and implement new values / settings throughout your websites pages. After you analyze what the impact is on your website's Search Engines ranking, you can keep the values or change them to your new insights... Or you can just 'Set and Forget' it :)
