Have you noticed how slow Joomla Admin console can be when you have a WYSIWYG Editor installed and lots of other things installed? Well take control! Turbo Charge your Joomla 1.5.x Admin Console today with this FREE Plugin! (requires Google Gears, free also!).

5. Publish it and WAIT 5 Seconds for a new link to appear

02-10-2008 UPDATED TO WORK WITH WINDOWS WEB SERVERS !!!
02-10-2008 UPDATED TO WORK WITH GOOGLE CHROME WEB BROWSER!!!

== Known Issues ==
When you update gears, if you get a message:

” Error: Invalid manifest - * Line 1, Column 1 Syntax error: value, object or array expected. Then the manifest file is displaying an error.

To view the manifest file please load the following url in your browser (replace domain.com with your domain!)

domain.com/plugins/system/GoogleGears/gears-manifest.php

If you dont understand the error shown on that page then email me the URL and I’ll do my best to help out. PHP5 Compatible ONLY if, when viewing the gears-manifest.php file, you get an error like:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /plugins/system/GoogleGears/gears-manifest.php on line 16

Then you are running PHP4 and cannot use our plugin. You should upgrade to PHP5 ASAP!

Great Tool by usedagain, November 19, 2008
All the menus were so slow to load it would become very frustrating at times. But since I have chrome I just turned this one and over 1,000 items indexed in a few minutes and the lag is gone. Completely noticeable difference.


A great addition to Joomla by volksman3, November 12, 2008
Great work Phil, well worth installing!


turbo-charged!!!! by chopnaldo, November 11, 2008
wow this really does the job !!!


Okay, this is good! by jsanglier, November 6, 2008
I have one site in particular where the admin is dragging along the floor - now it is nearly flying.

And you know what I really like?

It is FREE

I can use it on as many sites as I like without paying extra

I can use my nice fully fledged WYSIWYG editor

And so on and so forth. The other remote thingy is being un-installed as we speak! Nice one Phil


Gotta love Gears by theKeeper, November 5, 2008
This did speed up my site's backend performance a great deal. It installed without a glitch.
Thanks!


Good Idea, Excellent Support! by saharben, November 1, 2008
Works very good, 'Add New Article' got a whole new meaning now :), Thanks Phil for your great support!


Incredible! by DraX3D, October 8, 2008

I have to admit I was skeptical... I thought that I'd have to wait until they did some major updates for Joomla 1.6 before I could actually have an administration console that ran at any decent speed. I was wrong. This System plugin works wonders... pages in the admin console that once took an excess of 20 seconds to load now show up within less than 5... and if ever it slows down, all you need to do is click the "Update Gears" button that appears next to the Preview button in the top right. This speeds up all Administrative options, not just the core components.

One thing to note... some web hosts have BOTH PHP4 and PHP5 installed. In these cases they usually have PHP 4 setup as the default handler for php files. If this is the case, you can change it with your .htaccess file.

Here's what I had to add:

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4

A feature found in a couple of other CMSs has made its way to Joomla with this excellent plugin. It's very easy to install and use.


Painless and Fast on Google Chrome by joolex, September 30, 2008
2 of 2 people find this review helpful:
Its really fast clean an painless if you have PHP 5 and Google Chrome browser because it has "Gears" already installed.

I notice a large increase in speed on the admin, its like it supposed to be. you must have real expectations, it isn't instantaneous but is much faster because it downloads all of your admin images and scripts to your hard drive instead of loading them each time from the server.

I think this will be included on Joomla on the future.

This is just brilliant
Not only does the admin rock ... JCE is even faster.
The image manager is on steroids x10

Against
=============
We I can't say it's perfect can I ;-)
With multiple sites you need to install the plugin on all the sites.
It you have others editing sites you need to get them to install Gears on their PC as well

This should form part of the default install it has solved so many admin issues it's not funny

If you want a fast experience in using Joomla administrator install this now.

In utilising Google Gears Phil has created an extension that just speeds up your administration of Joomla and it's just so simple.

For the majority of the world on poor connections this will prove invaluable.
