Summary
Introduction: Tim Davis discusses the topic of speeding up the Joomla admin control panel page.
Issue Overview: The default Joomla setup checks for updates (Joomla version and extensions) upon login, which causes delays in loading the admin dashboard.
Quick Tip: Disable two plugins to speed up the admin control panel page.
Explanation: The plugins that check for new Joomla versions and extensions updates cause delays during login.
Recommendation: Use an external tool like My Joomla to monitor updates instead of relying on Joomla's internal checks.
Plugin Disabling: Navigate to Joomla's backend, go to "Extensions" > "Plugins" and search for "quick" to find the relevant plugins.
Disabling Plugins: Disable the plugins "Quick Icon Joomla Extensions Update Notification" and "Quick Icon Joomla Update Notification."
Results: After disabling the plugins, return to the control panel and see that the page loads faster without checking for updates.
Caution: Ensure you have an alternative method to monitor updates, especially for security updates.
Conclusion: The quick tip improves the speed of the admin control panel page without compromising site security, as long as update notifications are handled elsewhere.
