What's new in Joomla 5? Here's What You Need to Know
In 2021, the Joomla project launched Joomla 4, an innovative and revolutionary step forward for the open-source Content Management System (CMS). Now, Joomla 5 is here, and it’s even better. It brings major improvements in speed, security, and accessibility while maintaining the flexibility Joomla users love.
Building on the strengths of Joomla 4, this latest version offers unparalleled security, lightning-fast performance, and impeccable code quality.
“Joomla 5 isn't just an update—it’s an evolution. Faster speeds, stronger security, and unmatched flexibility make it the most powerful Joomla yet.”

Better Performance & Faster Speeds
Joomla 5 has been fine-tuned for faster load times, improved caching, and optimized database queries. Whether you're running a small business site or a large e-commerce platform, Joomla 5 ensures a smoother, more efficient experience for visitors.
Stronger Security
Security remains a top priority. Joomla 5 includes enhanced encryption, better user authentication options, and improved security headers—all designed to keep your website safe from cyber threats.
Improved Accessibility
By prioritizing accessibility, Joomla 5 aligns seamlessly with WCAG guidelines, ensuring a more inclusive web experience. This means better usability for all users, regardless of ability.
Future-Proofed for Developers
Joomla 5 embraces modern coding standards, offering cleaner, more efficient code that developers can easily build upon. With an improved extension system and continued support for PHP 8+, Joomla 5 is built to last.
Full Control—No Hidden Fees
Unlike some website platforms, Joomla 5 gives you full control over your data. There are no hidden fees, no hosting constraints, and no third-party small print limiting your website’s potential.
