Tips

First of all it is important to set backups on your Joomla hosting, backups ensure that you always can do a restoration of your website.This is at all times recommended, if something goes wrong and your website is down then you can restore within seconds.Fortunately, Joomla has a handy plug-in for this called Akeeba Backup, this is a plug-in that allows you to easily create and restore Joomla backups.

Of course, not only a good backup is important, it is also important that your website is fast, so it is advisable to keep images as small as possible but you can also do other things.Think of activating GZIP, this is a technique that compresses the files of your site on the server, as a result your website will load a lot faster.This is a lot easier for you and the visitors of your website, it is very annoying to browse on a slow website.

Besides a backup and speed, it is also important that you do not install dangerous extensions. Joomla has made a list of extensions that can be dangerous which can be found here: Dangerous Joomla extensions.It is also always advisable to use a SSL certificate, so you offer users and visitors of your website a secure connection.This is all the more important because Chrome and Firefox mark your website as unsafe if you do not use an SSL certificate.

There are also things you should not do, such as using too simple passwords, passwords like "12345" or "welkom123" are strongly discouraged.You can always use our random password generator so you are always guaranteed a strong password that is almost impossible to guess.
