10 Most useful extensions for Joomla in 2023

With the ability to use extensions in Joomla, it is often prevalent to install more extensions than necessary; this will usually result in a slower site. So here are my recommendations for the ten best Joomla extensions every Joomla site should have.in 2023.

Extensions are an excellent addition for Joomla admins to tweak their website by adding new features and do more with the Core Joomla. Extensions are also a way for Joomla users to extend their website and make it more professional and user-friendly. There are Joomla extensions that are both free and subscription-based.

Joomla components are extensions that make the Joomla site more friendly for the admins or users. Some of the most popular Joomla components are Akeeba Backup, JCE, and Advanced Module Manager.

 

Akeeba Backup

Akkeba Backup Progress Bar

The free version of Akeeba Backup allows you to backup and restore your Joomla sites for free but lacks some of the features of the paid version. One of them is the feature to backup to a third-party Cloud. In Akeeba Free, you can only backup your Joomla site to a local drive or a folder on the server. Akeeba Pro gives you many more features, such as the ability to backup your Joomla site to a third-party Cloud and backup to an FTP server.

You can use the JCE Editor to create high-quality content without needing advanced HTML and CSS coding.
