Eight new posts since last week
Busy week on the blog. The big one: if your Joomla site was installed before February 2015, the default robots.txt is probably blocking Google from your images, CSS, and JavaScript. Joomla never overwrites that file during updates, so the old restrictive rules just sit there quietly hurting your rankings.
There's also a new guide on verifying your Joomla email configuration actually works (contact forms can fail silently for months), a deep dive into checking whether your WordPress site has been hacked, and a practical guide to comparing Joomla templates across all your sites from one dashboard.
Plus shorter posts on enforcing minor-only WordPress updates, building a 5-minute morning routine for checking your Joomla sites, disabling the WordPress admin bar on the frontend, and disabling the Guided Tours plugin that Joomla loads on every admin page.
All guides are free to read on the blog
