Connect your Joomla site to the CMS Inspect cloud dashboard and manage updates, uptime monitoring, security checks, database backups and reporting without needing to log into each Joomla administrator individually. CMS Inspect can also manage WordPress sites, giving you one central dashboard for your entire website fleet.

Manage Multiple Joomla Sites from One Dashboard

Monitor the health of all your connected websites from one place, including:

• Joomla and extension versions
• Pending Joomla core and extension updates
• Website uptime and incident history
• Security findings
• Database backups
• Website activity and reports

Bulk refresh and bulk update tools make routine website maintenance significantly faster when managing multiple client or business websites.

Remote Joomla Updates

CMS Inspect detects available Joomla core and extension updates and allows authorised updates to be installed remotely from the cloud dashboard.

Update actions include command logging and safer execution workflows, helping you maintain visibility over what was changed and when. CMS Inspect also detects updates performed outside the platform so your site history remains accurate.

Joomla Security Monitoring

CMS Inspect includes security monitoring tools to help identify suspicious or unexpected changes across your Joomla website.

Security features include:

• Malware and security signature scanning
• File change monitoring
• File permission audits
• Security finding management
• Ignore and triage controls
• Security exports and reporting

Security scans can be triggered remotely through the CMS Inspect dashboard.

Off-Site Database Backups

Generate Joomla database backups directly on your website and automatically upload them to supported cloud storage providers.

CMS Inspect supports off-site database backups to:

• Google Drive
• Dropbox

Keeping database backups outside your Joomla hosting environment provides an additional recovery option if the website or hosting account becomes unavailable.

Website Uptime Monitoring

CMS Inspect continuously monitors connected websites and provides uptime status, historical incidents and operational context from the same dashboard used to manage your sites.

Email notification preferences can be configured for important events including:

• Website incidents
• Available updates
• Malware findings
• Scheduled report digests

Client Reports and Website History

Maintain an audit history of website activity and generate reports suitable for internal management or client reporting.

CMS Inspect supports CSV exports and client-ready reports, while optional Google Analytics integration can add website traffic context alongside maintenance and operational information.

Built for Joomla and WordPress Management

CMS Inspect provides the same central management workflow for Joomla and WordPress websites, making it particularly useful for agencies and developers supporting websites across multiple CMS platforms.

Install the Joomla package, connect your website once using OAuth or your Site ID and Site Secret, and CMS Inspect handles background communication through its Joomla agent plugin.

Requirements

• Joomla 5 or Joomla 6
• PHP 8.1 or newer

CMS Inspect is free to get started, with paid plans available based on the number of active connected websites.
