We held the Joomlashack Conference over 3 days in mid-November.

This was a free conference featuring over 20 of the best speakers from around the Joomla world.

I was amazed at how good the presentations were. We're currently editing all the videos and posting them to the Joomlashack YouTube channel.

This presentation was from Victor Vogel. Victor works for Plesk, the company that is deep inside the hosting industry. Victor is deeply involved in Joomla as well. He has I think about one hundred and fifty extensions of the last count and has volunteered and helped out in just about every area of the Joomla project. Victor is a good friend and I am delighted to welcome him to present to us today.

In this talk, we will take a closer look at two essential factors of a website: performance and security. Why is the performance of a website so important? What influences the loading speed and how can this process be optimized?

The safe operation of a website is an essential task for every administrator. How good is the security in Joomla and how can this be further increased by simple means? What are the golden security rules? In addition to the theory on these topics, practical and easy-to-use tips will be shown to run a fast and secure Joomla website.
