But being\nsimple to use doesn\u2019t mean it can\u2019t look professional and offer a great user\nexperience. So what are some of the best Joomla help tips to give your site a\nprofessional look and feel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Boost your Joomla website speed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s\nnothing more frustrating than a website that takes ages to load and is slow to\nreact to commands. The process below will help to improve the loading speed of\nyour Joomla site:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Go to \u201cSystem\u201d and click \u201cGlobal Configuration\u201d<\/li><li>In the \u201cSystem\u201d tab look for the \u201cCache Settings\u201d section <\/li><li>From \u201cSystem Cache\u201d, select \u201cON &#8211; Conservative caching\u201d <\/li><li>Go to the \u201cServer\u201d tab and find the \u201cServer Settings\u201d section <\/li><li>Turn \u201cGzip Page Compression\u201d to \u201cYes\u201d <\/li><li>Save your changes <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Display\nthe name of your site on the browser tab<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is\nquite a basic consideration but it definitely makes your site look slick and\nprofessional. Joomla enables you to do this without the need for an extension,\nutilising the main page title. To activate this on your Joomla site:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Go to \u2018System\u2019 &#8211; click on \u201cGlobal Configuration\u201d<\/li><li>Go to \u201cSEO Settings\u201d and find \u201cSite Name in Page Titles\u201d <\/li><li>This is set to \u201cNo\u201d as default so you need to select either \u201cBefore\u201d or \u201cAfter\u201d (depending on your preference).  <\/li><li>This is set to \u201cNo\u201d as default so you need to select either \u201cBefore\u201d or \u201cAfter\u201d (depending on your preference).  <\/li><li>Save changes. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Make\nyour entire site secure by enabling HTTPS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Security\nand privacy are of vital importance when publishing a website on the internet.\nFirstly, a valid SSL certificate must be installed on the site. Then, in order\nto activate HTTPS, follow the steps below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Go to \u201cSystem\u201d and click \u201cGlobal Configuration\u201d<\/li><li>Go to the \u201cServer\u201d tab <\/li><li>In the \u201cServer Settings\u201d section, locate \u201cForce HTTPS\u201d <\/li><li>From the drop-down list select \u201cEntire Site\u201d  <\/li><li>Save changes. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Enable\nglobal check-in option<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With global\ncheck-in switched off, only specific users can edit an article at a specific\ntime. Switching this on means that the editing feature is available for all\nusers. This can be very useful if one person doesn\u2019t finish editing their\narticle and someone else needs to step in. To enable this option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Go to \u201cSystem\u201d and click \u201cGlobal Check-in\u201d<\/li><li>From the row named \u201cDatabase Table\u201d, select all the items <\/li><li>Click on \u201cCheck-in\u201d button. <\/li><li>Save changes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Ratings\nfor every post<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>User\nfeedback is crucial to all businesses. It is great to know what people think of\nyour content. In order to allow your users to rate all posts, follow the steps\nbelow: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Go to \u201cSystem\u201d and click on \u201cGlobal Configuration\u201d<\/li><li>Select \u201cArticles\u201d from the left sidebar <\/li><li>Find \u201cShow Voting\u201d and then click on \u201cShow\u201d <\/li><li>Save changes. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Edit the\nnavigation menu from the frontend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Joomla lets you to edit your navigation menu from the frontend of your site (once you are signed in). To do this follow the below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Go to \u201cSystem\u201d and click on \u201cGlobal Configuration\u201d<\/li><li>In the \u201cSite Settings\u201d tab, locate \u201cMouse-over Edit Icons for\u201d <\/li><li>From the drop-down list, select \u201cModules &amp; Menus\u201d <\/li><li>Save changes. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For more Joomla help, take a look at the Joomla! <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.joomla.org\/Main_Page.\">Documentation Wiki<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not got a site yet?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can get up and running in a jiffy with our Joomla web hosting, find out more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.register365.com\/web-hosting\">here<\/a>! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Incredibly popular amongst smaller businesses in particular, Joomla is a very simple website builder that doesn\u2019t require extensive coding knowledge.
