Joomla Website Audit
Joomla audit: extensions, generator tags, and Apache headers
· Configuration notes, not a newsroom.
Joomla fingerprints from generator and /media/jui/. SiteRune treats it as a PHP CMS: cache at the edge, headers at the vhost, stop shipping every extension on the homepage.
JOWhat SiteRune checks on this stack
- CMS / framework fingerprint from HTML, headers, cookies, and generator tags — fingerprint-based, not a plugin inventory
- Titles, meta descriptions, canonicals, H1, and robots on the homepage and walked interiors
- Security headers a crawler can see: HTTPS, HSTS, CSP, framing, nosniff, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy
- HTML TTFB, compression, and Cache-Control on the document — not a Lighthouse filmstrip
- AI-bot robots policy, llms.txt, and Organization / FAQ / Article JSON-LD
Common problems
- Marketing homepage looks finished; interior templates ship empty titles or leftover noindex
- Hosted CMS cannot set HSTS/CSP, so the brief tells you to put a proxy in front instead of inventing an admin UI
- A security plugin's 'block AI' preset Disallows GPTBot on a site that wanted citations
- Session cookies or no-store on every anonymous GET, so the CDN never caches HTML
Generator is a gift and a leak
A precise Joomla version in the generator tag is a fingerprint we use and a banner attackers use. The security chapter will mention version disclosure when we see it. That is configuration, not a pentest. Update, then stop advertising the patch level in HTML.
What to ship this week
Full-page cache or Cloudflare in front. Security headers in Apache/nginx, not a template override. One SEO extension for titles, canonicals, and sitemap — not three. llms.txt at the origin. Robots that fence /administrator/ without Disallow: /.
FAQ
How do you know this is my stack?
Fingerprints in HTML, headers, cookies, and generator tags. Confidence is a score, not a certificate. Unknown stacks stay generic — we will not invent a CMS.
