Joomla Performance and Speed

Course details

Fast Joomla websites, that is what this course is about. I will talk about optimizing the Joomla core settings, but also how third-party plugins and services can help you make your site even faster. As long as you know the basics of Joomla administration you should be able to follow this course.

The course takes 4 hours, with mainly video and some slide-presentations and is easy to follow for intermediate Joomla enthousiasts.

I will first explain why it is so important to have a fast website and also talk about your hosting environment before we jump into Joomla. Then we will optimize Joomla, using the caching and zipping-features inside the CMS. After having optimized Joomla and your hosting parameters we will discuss a number of plugins that make Joomla even faster. These plugins are about stuff like optimizing CSS and Javascript, using Content Delivery Networks, etcetera.

We will also discuss optimizing images, often the biggest resource part of a website. Finally, we will discuss optimizing for mobile devices.

In the end, you will no longer have a slow website, it will probably be more then twice as fast as it was!
