About this website

Joomla is a great Content Management System for creating dynamic websites. You can read all about it on this website. Joomla is free open source software. To run it, you need a web server.

At https://launch.joomla.org, you can create your own Joomla website on free hosting. To test that free hosting and also Joomla 5, Peter created this website. The website has been optimized a lot. To test the website Peter used some online tools. Here are the tools and the results:

HTTP Security Headers

HTTP security headers are sort of special instructions attached to the communication between your browser and a website. They help enhance the security of your browsing experience by preventing certain types of cyber attacks and protecting your privacy.

When you visit a website, your web browser (like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari) communicates with the website's server to load and display the content. This communication happens over the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or its more secure version, HTTPS.

HTTP security headers are small pieces of information sent by the website's server along with the regular content. These headers provide instructions and rules to the web browser on how to handle and display the website's content. Think of them as notes attached to a package, telling the browser how to treat the contents inside.

We used securityheaders.com to analyze this website and see the following score:
