Bitrix Site Manager 8.5: Intelligent SEO and Robust Performance

Alexandria, VA, October 28, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Bitrix, Inc. announced today the release of a new version of Bitrix Site Manager, version 8.5. Bitrix Site Manager is a professional Content Management System (CMS) that can be used for creating advanced Internet solutions. The main goals that were achieved in this new release are performance analysis and SEO (Search Engine Optimization). The newly introduced modules and features included in version 8.5 help detect problems caused by insufficient hosting environment or inadequate website or CMS configuration. Content managers and web project developers can also take advantage of extended SEO options to significantly improve their web project rankings.

The Performance Monitor module is designed for evaluating and improving website efficiency. The Bitrix benchmarking system used in this module provides recommendations for solving problems resulting from errors that are common during web project development. Version 8.5 puts also stronger emphasis on search engine conformance. The new SEO module provides extensive website analytics to assist users in promoting their web projects on the Web. All the product components were thoroughly tested and optimized by eliminating possible duplicates, infinite loops and repeated links. The number of unique pages that are generated when responding to search bot requests was noticeably reduced in the standard distribution package, as well.

Bitrix continues to advance communication and workflow control tools for Enterprise 2.0 web projects. Business users are now able to control all business processes with remarkably intuitive visual tools directly on websites or intranet portals. Besides these major changes, the new version also includes an enhanced Media Library module, a powerful Social Network search tool that conforms to access permission levels, a highly reliable Proactive Protection module, and a number of other critical security mechanism improvements and bug-fixes.
