What is Schema.org - Rich Snippets?
Adding Rich Snippets / structured data is a way of adding contextual information to your website and its contents, allowing search engines to better understand the information you provide them with.
Rich Snippets / structured data allows search engines to understand the meaning of the information presented on your website, which allows it to better answer more verbose 'natural language' queries where an understanding of the meaning helps to interpret the most relevant content to be displayed.
Structured data is a standardised format for organising and representing information on the web. It provides a way to describe the content and meaning of data in a structured manner, making it easier for search engines and other applications to understand and process the information. More information on schema.org.
How it works?
The snippets are generated using structured data markup based on schemas such as JSON-LD. Each schema type is implemented as a separate plugin. This allows for a more modular and extensible architecture. Each plugin is responsible for generating the schema markup for a specific type of content, which allows for more flexibility and customization options for you. This makes it easier for third-party developers to contribute to the development of Joomla's structured data capabilities.
In Joomla 5, we currently have the following plugins:
- Article Plugin (5.1)
- Blogposting Plugin
- Book Plugin
- Event Plugin
