Our JOOMLERS.UK guide will help you to ...

  • keep your website content current and relevant,
  • optimise your website's content for search engines,
  • keep your website's Joomla! CMS and extensions up to date, and
  • adopt a proactive approach to website security, and
  • perform some essential JOOMLER tasks.

Essential JOOMLER Tasks

All websites are prone to being compromised by hackers or some other disaster.

Joomla! is no different from any other CMS or content management system in this regard.

There are then certain DESIRABLE things which all JOOMLERS should do to protect their website.

For example:

Always use the latest release

Experience tells us that websites which use the latest available release of Joomla! CMS are more likely to be:

1) MORE SECURE

2) MORE ACCESSIBLE

3) MORE MOBILE FRIENDLY

4) FASTER

5) PERFORM BETTER IN SEARCH ENGINES

6) EASIER TO USE

Read more: How to find out about new releases.

Also check whether the server hosting your website is using the latest available release for a given version of PHP and MySQL.

We tell you how to check and consider which versions to use in our Joomla! User Guide.

Read more: About PHP & MySQL.

Frequently check for new releases

Frequently sign into your website's control panel.

When you do you will be prompted if there has been a new release of the Joomla! CMS.

You should also periodically visit the Official Joomla! website for the latest news about new releases.

Back up your website frequently

Frequently perform a FULL backup of your website (database and files).

If you have been making regular backups, and your website is compromised, you can restore your last known 'clean' back up.

Install, configure & maintain a Web Application Firewall

If you value your Joomla! website then protect it.

Install, configure and maintain a Web Application Firewall (or WAF).

We believe that NO business should run a website without a Web Application Firewall.

Make Joomla! CMS Security YOUR #1 Priority

But if you are responsible for a businesses or organisation's website, these desirable things become ESSENTIAL TASKS.

Essential tasks that will:

  • help protect your website against compromise by hackers,
  • provide reassurance when making technical improvements which may have unforeseen consequences, and
  • enable a quick recovery when the proverbial hits the fan!
