Joomla is an open-source Content Management System (CMS) that is based on a model-view-controller web application framework. It is used all over the world for a variety of different websites.
This article will walk you through how to perform a static assets integration, which does not support the use of the StackPath Web Application Firewall (WAF). If you’re looking to maximize security by using our CDN with the WAF, please refer to the CDN & WAF integration guide.
This tutorial assumes a StackPath Site is created.
