One of the things you must do to make your Joomla website faster is to enable Joomla Gzip compression.

Since the files are smaller, they take much less time to get delivered to the user, resulting in an overall faster experience for your user.

Let's take you through the whole process of checking whether Joomla GZip compression is enabled, and enabling or disabling it. We will also show you how to enable it via your hosting server CPanel.

Create a responsive full-screen overlay menu for your Joomla website

We have recently seen a growing trend of websites using a full-screen menu - this is for two main reasons. First, it is quite a bold move in terms of functionality.

Covering all your content to show the menu is a relatively new concept - however, it is become quite trendy to use a full-screen responsive menu. Even large creative agencies have successfully used this.

The second reason why this is very popular is because of course, this is as responsive as something can get.

The menu will look identical whether this is a desktop, a phone or a tablet. This plugin makes it easy to implement this concept of a full-screen menu on your Joomla website - and integrates with the Joomla menu functionality directly.

It's also very flexible and customisable, you can choose the fonts, colors, and animation direction of the Joomla full-screen responsive menu - so that it is in line with the rest of your website.

Best of all - this Joomla plugin is completely FREE, Gratis, you pay nothing, zero, zilch, niente! ;-) Just say thank you to CollectiveRay.com :-)

How to Add to Joomla, your Google Analytics code

If you have created a Joomla website, one of the very first things you want to do is monitor how much traffic is coming to the website. This is where the Joomla Google Analytics plugin is important.

By far the easiest way to monitor the traffic to your website is through Google Analytics. Of course, to be able to do this, you'll need to add the code from Google Analytics to your Joomla website template.

This comes with a risk of forgetting some pages or messing up your template.

Our Joomla Google Analytics plugin saves you the headache and does all the dirty work for you.

To save you from messing around with more code, we have also added the possibility of adding Google WebMaster verification code and Bing WebMaster Verification codes.
