Web Site Performance

Joomla is an excellent CMS with many features and several advantages over other content management systems, and flexible enough to work for just about any website installation.

Joomla's ability to include modules, components and plugins is a key part of its flexibility, but that doesn't mean you should abuse it. Every plugin, module and component you install will increase your page load times and slow things down. Any extensions that your website doesn't absolutely need should be removed.
