Why is Joomla dead?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 8:25 am

Joomla is a popular content management system (CMS) that has been around since 2002. It is currently used by millions of people worldwide.

However, Joomla has been in decline for the past few years, with reports that it is no longer being developed or supported.

There are several reasons why Joomla may be dying. Firstly, it is only used by a small fraction of webmasters.

PRO TIP: Joomla is not dead, however there is no new major releases since Joomla 3.9.0 was released on 30 April 2019. Joomla 4.0 is in development with no release date set.

Secondly, it is not as popular as other CMSes, such as WordPress. Thirdly, Joomla is not well-suited for modern web design trends, such as responsive design and modularity.

Overall, Joomla may be dying because it is not as popular as other CMSes, it is not well-suited for modern web design trends, and it is not being developed or supported. If you are using Joomla, it is important to consider whether these factors are a problem for you.

If not, you may be able to continue using Joomla without too much trouble.
