The Data
The Joomla Geography
Joomla isn't dead. It's geographically concentrated. Russia alone accounts for 7,189 Joomla installations in our Common Crawl dataset — more than most countries have total detections. In most other markets, Joomla is statistically invisible. The framework didn't die — it retreated to specific markets and stayed.
The Isolated Ecosystem Risk
When a framework's user base concentrates in a few countries, its global community shrinks, its plugin ecosystem stagnates, and its security response slows. Joomla's concentration in Russia also raises questions about vulnerability response when geopolitical isolation limits collaboration with global security researchers.
