Remove Meta Generator

What can Remove Meta Generator do for you?

Product features

The Remove Meta Generator plugin enhances Joomla security by removing generator and robots meta tags, concealing CMS details effortlessly.

Generator · Robots · Feeds

Less Fingerprint

Hide default Joomla markers
Remove or replace generator and robots meta tags so scanners see less of the CMS defaults.

Feeds included
Clean RSS and Atom generator elements, not just HTML pages.

Brand · Custom Text

Replace, Not Just Remove

Your generator label
Swap Joomla’s generator tag for your own company or product name when you still want a generator field present.

Robots your way
Set a fixed robots value instead of relying on whatever the page outputs.

X-Powered-By

Headers Too

HTTP hardening
Optionally strip the X-Powered-By response header on public pages.

Site only
Administrator traffic is left untouched for safer backend behaviour.

Document · Regex Fallback

API First Cleanup

Proper document hooks
Changes apply during head compilation through Joomla’s document API.

Final HTML pass
Any leftover meta tags are removed or updated in rendered output.

1.3 · Legacy Map

Upgrade Friendly

Keep old behaviour
Legacy yes/no settings from 1.3 map automatically when new mode fields are left on legacy.

Granular control
Move to explicit remove, replace, leave, or set modes when you are ready.

Frequently asked questions

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.
