What can Remove Meta Generator do for you?
Built for real Joomla sites
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.
