Features

What can Remove Meta Generator do for you?

Six feature areas, one install package for Joomla 4, 5 and 6.

Less Exposure

Hide What Scanners Look For

Remove or replace generator and robots tags so your site reveals less about its setup. Feeds get cleaned too, not just pages.

Your Brand

Replace, Don't Just Remove

Swap Joomla's generator tag for your own company or product name. Set a fixed robots value for consistent control.

Headers Too

Clean Up Server Headers

Strip the X-Powered-By header from public pages. Your admin area stays untouched.

Thorough Cleanup

Nothing Slips Through

Tags are cleaned the proper Joomla way as pages are built. Any leftovers are caught in the final output.

Upgrade Safe

Keeps Your Settings When You Update

Your existing settings carry over automatically. Switch to the new options whenever you're ready.

Future-Proof

Built for Modern Joomla

A modern, namespaced Joomla build. Super Users can turn on a cleanup log while fine-tuning.

FAQ

Questions about Remove Meta Generator

Still unsure? Our support team is one ticket away.

Which Joomla versions are supported?

Remove Meta Generator 1.4 supports Joomla 4, 5, and 6.

Does the plugin affect the administrator area?

No. All cleanup runs only on the site front end.

What happens to my 1.3 settings after upgrade?

Leave Generator Meta Tag and Robots Meta Tag on “Use legacy setting (1.3 upgrade)” to keep the old yes/no behaviour. The plugin reads the legacy generator and robots params when the new mode fields are empty.

Can I replace the generator tag instead of removing it?

Yes. Set Generator Meta Tag to Replace with custom text and enter your label.

Are RSS and Atom feeds cleaned?

Yes, when Clean Feed Generator Tags is enabled and generator cleanup is active.
