Joomla is best for creating websites oriented to e-commerce and website requiring a more professional touch. Joomla has thousands of extensions to offer, which are instrumental in increasing the functionality of a website. With its wider flexibility, enhanced features and premier extensions, Joomla to greater extent out beats WordPress.

Hello hoangvu,

WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that enables you to create a website or blog from scratch or to improve an existing website. It is used by millions of people worldwide and is backed by an active community of developers who continually improve its functionality. Joomla is also a CMS, but it is not as user-friendly as WordPress and does not have a large following. As such, it does not benefit from the same levels of support and development.

There are many reasons why WordPress is considered to be better than Joomla. Here are just a few:

1. WordPress is easier to use, especially for beginners. However, Joomla can be confusing and overwhelming.
2. WordPress has a larger selection of themes and plugins, so you can find everything you need to create the perfect website or blog. However, with Joomla, you may have to compromise on your desired design or functionality.
3. WordPress sites are generally faster and more responsive than Joomla sites. It is because WordPress is lighter and more efficient code-wise.
4. WordPress websites are more secure than Joomla websites. It is because WordPress benefits from regular security updates, while Joomla does not.
5. WordPress scales better than Joomla. It means that if your website grows in popularity, it will be able to handle the increased traffic without any issues.

There are many reasons why WordPress is considered to be better than Joomla. For one, WordPress is a much more popular platform, which means a larger community of developers and users can offer support. Additionally, WordPress is a more flexible platform, allowing for more customization and integrations. Finally, WordPress is also generally faster and more reliable than Joomla.

Thus, I hope the above information helps you to understand why WordPress is considered among most to be better than Joomla.
