Can you upgrade my Joomla 3 or Joomla 4 website to Joomla 6?+
Yes. We first check your Joomla version, template, extensions, custom components and PHP setup. The upgrade is then completed on a private staging copy before the updated site is moved live.
Is Joomla 3 or Joomla 4 still safe to use?+
Joomla 3 and Joomla 4 have reached end of life and no longer receive regular security patches. If your website still uses either version, we recommend checking its compatibility and planning an upgrade to a supported Joomla version.
Will my Joomla website go down during the upgrade?+
No. We use a staging-first process, which means the upgrade work is completed and tested on a separate copy of your website while your existing live site continues running.
Will upgrading Joomla affect my SEO or existing URLs?+
We keep existing URLs and SEO elements intact during the live switch wherever possible. The upgraded website is also fully tested on staging before launch to reduce the risk of ranking or indexing issues.
What happens if my Joomla extensions are not compatible with Joomla 6?+
We check extension compatibility before starting. Unsupported extensions can be updated, replaced with suitable alternatives, or rebuilt when custom functionality needs to be preserved.
How much does a Joomla upgrade cost?+
The cost depends on your current Joomla version, website size, template, extensions and custom functionality. Every project starts with a free compatibility check, after which you receive a fixed quote before work begins.
How long does a Joomla upgrade take?+
The timeline depends on the complexity of your website. A small Joomla site with only a few extensions is usually quicker to upgrade than an e-commerce, multilingual or heavily customized website.
Do people still use Joomla?+
Yes, people still use Joomla. It’s not as widely used as WordPress, but it’s still an active open-source CMS with websites running on it around the world. As of October 2026, Joomla is used by about 1.1% of all websites, while WordPress is used by about 40%. If your Joomla website is working well for your business, there’s no need to move just because Joomla isn’t as popular as WordPress.
What is the latest version of Joomla?+
The latest Joomla version is Joomla 6.1.4, released on September 29, 2026. Joomla 5.4.9 is also currently available for the Joomla 5 series. If your website is running an older version of Joomla, it’s worth checking whether your template, extensions, hosting environment, and custom code are ready for an upgrade before making the change.
Which is better, WordPress or Joomla?+
There isn’t one answer for every website. WordPress is generally the better choice if you want a large ecosystem of themes, plugins, developers, and resources. It also has a much larger market share. Joomla can still be a good choice for websites that already use it and have a setup built around Joomla. If your current Joomla website is stable, secure, and doing what you need, switching to WordPress may create more work than value. The better CMS is usually the one that fits your website, team, and long-term needs.
When should I upgrade to the latest Joomla version?+
Keep your Joomla website updated, especially for security updates. For a major version upgrade, check your extensions, template, and custom code first to avoid compatibility issues.
Which hosting provider is best for Joomla?+
There’s no single best hosting provider for every Joomla website. Choose hosting that supports your Joomla version, offers good performance, regular backups, SSL, and reliable support.
Can I upgrade my Joomla website on my own?+
Yes, you can upgrade a Joomla website yourself, especially for straightforward updates. Joomla has built-in update tools for this. However, major upgrades are different. Before upgrading, you should take a full backup and check your template, extensions, custom code, PHP version, and hosting environment for compatibility. If the website is important to your business or has a lot of custom functionality, getting a Joomla developer to handle the upgrade can save you from dealing with unexpected problems.
Do you provide support after the Joomla upgrade is complete?+
Yes. Joomla upgrade projects include 30 days of post-launch support. Ongoing monthly Joomla maintenance is also available for updates, security patches, backups and general website support.
