The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

If you want to increase a point load speed of your Joomla this is your extension.

A few days of navigating your pages really flying!

The support is very helpful and professional. You're not alone ...

Thank you.

Joomla, is a fantastic system but we can all add too many module and extensions which can slow our sites down.

This one though is a must. On google page speed checker I saw an increase straight away. It's not the easiest to set up but the instructions are clear and methodical. It's just not as simple as install and go. It's worth it though.

Support is pretty decent. I hope it has a long future.

I had a few problems which Andy at corePHP patiently helped sort out. My website's Google Pagespeed rating went from 67 to 86, which is remarkable.

Saved me some serious work, one of the clients was about ready to have us completely resigned the brand new responsive layout cause it did not work on he's retarded iPad.

Turns out its Apples inability to handle large websites, being able to simply move everything over to the CDN not only speeds things up for our users but reduced the size of the website to fix the one and existing problem that affects iPads.

Living nearly 7000 miles from the nearest amazon server we can see the performance boost so I can only imagine what our US and EU members are feeling.

If you have international users this extension is beyond a must. Worth every cent.

I support several Joomla sites for work, personal and community group purposes. I'm a non-programmer casual user, but I've learned a lot over the years dealing with conflicting, poorly-designed, over-hyped, and poorly-supported extensions. Lately, I've been forced to dig into site optimization. It can be a complex topic with lots of pitfalls for the casual Joomla user but unfortunately something all Joomla users eventually have to do if their sites are to appear professional and maintain good Google search placement. As we all know, Joomla sites can get pretty slow and bloated once we add in all the fun extensions, graphics, videos, etc.

After struggling for months with server directives, JS/CSS compressors, image optimizers, upgraded host accounts, and caching I was still left with sites that were slow, at least relative to the expectations of my impatient users. And, thru it all, I've had to deal with lots of broken links, reinstallation of corrupted sites, and those notorious Joomla invalid token errors (I even got one here on Joomla trying to write this review!)

At wits end, I took a chance on JomCDN and it immediately cut my homepage load time from around 4.5 seconds to around 2.5 seconds. Two seconds makes a tremendous difference in terms of whether a person will stay on your site or move on to the next Google hit! With additional tweaking, I've gotten the site down to the one second range, almost as fast as Google or Yahoo's home page! Who says Joomla can't be used for professional-quality sites!!!

JomCDN setup is relatively easy and there are some good videos to help. Just be sure to follow the directions explicitly. For example, JomCDN needs to be the last system extension to load. You have to turn-on Joomla's cache (and not make my mistake of turning it off later). You need to setup a cron. And, of course, you need to setup Amazon S3 and CloudFront (I think it supports other CDNs but why bother, Amazon S3+Cloudfront is extremely good and it's very inexpensive. If you are on a shared host, consider moving your whole site to the cloud!) Finally, it takes awhile for all the files and graphics to get smushed and uploaded to the CDN.

Also, I can say the support staff are excellent. I made a stupid mistake of forgetting to turn the Joomla cache back on after chase down one of those annoying Invalid Token errors. Matt, the support specialist, took the time to log into my site and graciously solve the problem without pointing out it was my silly mistake. Now, that is good customer support. Especially on such an inexpensive extension.

Other than that silly mistaken, I've had no problems whatsoever with JomCDN. It just magically works, no broken links, no invalid token errors, no problems. Be sure to check your load time using YSlow or Pingdom before you start so you have a good baseline. Then, setup AWS, install JomCDN, navigate thru your site and give the cron script a little time to catch up, and then check your load speed again. I bet you will be astonished by the improvement! Yes, it's a commercial product with an annual fee, but it's small relative to the benefit you get. It might even save you from having to upgrade to a faster server/host. For a professional site, or even a site that needs to look like one, this is a must-have!

The plugin is not compatible with UK Rackspace Cloud Files, only US accounts.

I had issues setting this Up I used the community forum and wasn't too impressed by the response. As I had paid for the plugin I submited a support ticket, The support person was stunning and I was up and running within 24 hours of my request going in. Not bad for a $29 plugin. Highly recommend with Amazon S3 and Cloudfront.

Very Happy

1. Pitfall I faced was "Error access denied" in my cron Job. MY Hosting restricted this function on shared hosting accounts.

When you purchase, you are asked to give a URL. I gave the URL I was testing the software on thinking I would simply change it later, as this has never been an issue with any other software company I have dealt with.

But because the software didn't work and I asked for support, they would not let me transfer the support licence to the correct domain less than 2 weeks after my purchase.

They claim they can't switch the domain because it would cause abuse on their ticket system with unsupported domains, which is a load of crap because they still only have one URL to support if they changed it, and would no longer be obligated to provide support to the old URL.

I just got the final site from my programmer and now can't even use the software I purchased for it. They want me to purchase another licence despite it being blatantly obvious that I am not running it on the other domain and not wanting any further support for it. Not to mention that the support they did provide didn't even fix the problem.

The only help provided was pretty much 'turn on caching', 'clear caches' and 'flush caches'. They never visited my site or provided in depth support on anything. They spent more time defending their policy than it would have taken to change the URL and get the problem fixed.

Excellent and swift response to a small bug - that's the type of support we need. Great work!

When you've been building joomla sites for a few years you find out what third party developers write reliably good code. And which do not. CorePHP is one of the best. I've use JomCDN for a very big commercial sports site, and when we switched from 1.5 to 1.7 the support staff were VERY helpful in sorting some small issues. JomCDN really is a no brainer for high traffic sites. The cost of Amazon S3 and Cloudfront is shockingly low. And working with Andy and Colin and other support staff makes this a painless experience. Bravo!

It changed my load time down appreciably. Now it is quick enough. Awesome work, guys!

I just wanted to give this review on corephp in general and specifically jomCDN. I have several of the corephp modules (Wordpress, jPhoto, jomCDN, and CommunityACL) and I must say all are great modules.

I recently had an issue with jomCDN where one of my clients had a module that the thumbnail images didn't load properly from the CDN. I wanted to tweak the jomCDN module to not load those images. Anyway there was a thread explaining how to do it, and I made the code change.

In anycase, I made a mistake and couldn't figure out why the images were still being cached. So I issued a ticket and Andy helped me make the code change and get everything working like I wanted.

these guys are good and if you are have paying customers like me, you need a support system behind you when things go wrong, or you are dead in the water. You can be reassured that corephp won't let you down when you need them.

Thanks Andy!!!

I've used JomCDN on a few sites now (configured with Amazon S3 and Cloudfront.) Installation sounds complicated at first, but if you follow the instructions step-by-step you'll be fine. I had a small problem on one site, and the support was excellent; corePHP adjusted a setting and then everything worked perfectly. Most importantly, it does what it says - it has dramatically improved the load time of each site I've installed it on!

I tried all of the JS and CSS compressors and one was worse than the next - lots of incompatibilities with other extensions. JomCDN is different. It worked for me 100% out of the box. You just set up Amazon S3/Cloudfront publish the plugin, and set the cron. Boom - you're now in the big leagues. HUGE improvements in speed as well as taking the bandwidth load off of my server and onto Amazon's shoulders. GET IT

It works, and that's what counts. It improved my Page Speed score from 71 to 79%. Probably what's as important is that it's also focused my attention on the importance of a fast-opening website so I am paying much more attention to this.

Using AWS, it's good to know that the load on my own server has been reduced and load times for users around the world will be much better. What does AWS cost? A couple of bucks a month.

The only drawback is an apparent increase in latency ("waiting for..." site) right at the beginning. Now if I could reduce that, the site would really fly! (I haven't even raised this with corePHP yet so they're bound to have something to say about it.)

corePHP's service is very, very good. They may not be as fast in response times as the best out there, but I've learnt that with a little patience, they always solve one's problems. Rafael, in particular, is a star!

So I can recommend this plugin with confidence - both on its own merits and the knowledge that corePHP is there to back it up.

(I've tried many extensions that promise mind-boggling speed improvements. Bar jomCDN, none of the others have worked on a complex site.)

Having researched I had decided that CDN was the way forward to speed up my site at low cost, especially as my site is hosted (at the moment) in the US but the majority of users are in Europe.

I choose jomCDN because I'd bought from corephp.com before and have been impressed with the quality of their software, and ease of use.

I'm glad I did - the whole process was very simple with a great video available to step by step help with setup , and I was up and running within minutes.

I would say this is the best value for money mod - as I said in the title, it just works, brilliantly! Highly recommended.

jomCDM is a great idea if you are planning on speeding up your website. I saw what it could do and I knew that it was what I was looking for.

It really helped my site to load twice as fast as before and I even moved up on my google ranking. This was a great purchase. Thanks.

I couldn't resist ordering this extension when I first saw it. I compared it to other alternatives and I liked the fact that jomCDN relies on a reputable company like Amazon for storage and offers the option of using Cloudfront.

I installed it on my site and was up and running within minutes by following the instructions in the manual. My Page Speed Score increased from 75 to 84 instantly and the site is much faster now.

I had a few questions and the support staff answered politely within 24 hours.
