Joomla
Joomla is an open-source content management system with multilingual content, access control and a large extension directory, on standard PHP hosting.
Joomla peaked as the system of choice for small-business sites, associations, schools, municipalities and community portals, particularly in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, France and Eastern Europe. Many of the 484,397 websites still running it date from then: established organisations with ageing sites, a modest web budget, a small IT supplier or volunteer administrator and often an overdue upgrade.
This is why the list is bought mostly by agencies that sell redesigns and migrations to WordPress or other systems, by Joomla specialists offering upgrades, security and maintenance, by hosting providers, and by vendors of extensions, templates and SEO services. A newly detected Joomla site is usually a fresh build on a current version by an agency that still works with the system; a dropped site has just migrated or been rebuilt, which identifies agencies and businesses that have recently invested in their website.
Joomla is the platform behind 484,397 websites, which is 1.1% of all CMS detections we record. Websites built on Joomla are most often served from Germany (134,818), United States (80,562) and Russia (44,051), and .com, .de and .ru are the most common domain endings. The most common versions are 1.5 (19,931 sites) and 1.7 (1,059).

Questions about Joomla websites
How many websites are built on Joomla?
As of November 2, 2026, 484,397 websites are built on Joomla. The number is recalculated every night from our own crawl of the web, so it follows real launches and migrations.
Who buys lists of Joomla websites?
Agencies and freelancers who build, maintain or migrate Joomla sites, vendors of plugins, themes and hosting for Joomla, and anyone selling a tool that integrates with it: every website on the list is a business that has already chosen the platform and keeps paying to run it.
Where are Joomla websites hosted?
Germany leads with 134,818 websites, followed by United States (80,562) and Russia (44,051). The country is where the website is served from; sites on a hosted platform show the platform's country.
How do I find websites that recently moved to Joomla?
The New tab on this page lists websites where our crawler saw Joomla for the first time in the last days, newest first: new launches and migrations from other platforms. The Dropped tab shows websites that moved away from Joomla. Both lists download with a subscription and are refreshed every morning.
How do I get a list of Joomla websites?
A free BetaScan account downloads a {sample_rows}-row sample. A subscription from $69 a month gives the full list of 484,397 domains, or a dataset with emails, phones, country, hosting and ranks, filtered by country, TLD, rank and registration date. The lists of websites that recently moved to or away from Joomla are included. See pricing.
How does BetaScan detect Joomla?
Our crawler fetches the homepage of every domain we track and matches the page and its response headers against the signatures of 7,636 technologies. A website counts as using Joomla when its latest crawl shows the signature; when the signature disappears, the site moves to the dropped list.
How can you tell a website is built with Joomla?
Most installations keep the meta generator tag that names Joomla, load scripts from the media/system or media/jui folders and templates from a templates directory, and use URLs with index.php?option=com_ parameters or component paths such as com_content. Older sites also expose version-specific file names. Our crawler matches these signs in the homepage.
Which businesses use Joomla?
Small and medium-sized companies, non-profit associations, sports clubs, schools and universities, local governments, churches and professional practices, along with community portals and directories. The user base is strongest in continental Europe, with a long tail worldwide. Many sites belong to organisations that chose Joomla ten or more years ago and have kept it because it still works.
What does a dropped Joomla site mean for a seller?
That the organisation has just replaced its website, most often with WordPress or a hosted builder, and has therefore spent money and attention on its web presence recently. For agencies that are the losing side of such projects; for vendors of hosting, SEO, forms, analytics and marketing tools the new site is an opening, because the owner is setting up a fresh stack and has a budget this year.
