5 Key Ways to Save Time in Joomla Website Maintenance

Joomla is spontaneously progressing CMS platform but initially the entire maintenance task might seem tedious for new clients.

This is why you require quality Joomla Website Maintenance Services to keep the hassles at bay for the clients.

Opt For the Latest Version

Say for instance, Joomla 1.5 contains a lot of security holes and bugs, and only supported by the Joomla community for a certain length of time. Unfortunately, these bugs are no longer fixed and your site becomes vulnerable if you haven't kept up-to-date. This is why you need to install the latest version to minimize the risks of your website being compromised.

Choice of Your Login Name

Joomla 2.5 has removed the default username from the easily-guessed "admin" letting you choose your own username for administration. This way brute-force attacks can be prevented where someone tries to log in to your website with the username of “admin” changing the password each attempt.

Change the Database Prefix

Post the Joomla CMS installation, you need to change the table prefix for the database Joomla uses from the default value which obviously combats against potential hackers who trying to access tables in the database.

Password protect your administrative area

One of the major failing in Joomla Website Development is that you can't rename the "administrator" folder because there are third party plug-ins and themes that rely on it existing to work correctly. So, we need to have some additional protection using an “htaccess” file.

File and Folder Permissions

It is not at all advised to set a file or folders' permissions to 0777 under any circumstances. There is no point for a file or folder to need these permissions, but instead they only need user and group permissions.
