Implementing a Joomla website multilingual with AI used to be a real challenge: manual translations take a lot of time, cloud proxies such as Linguise or ConveyThis route page requests through third-party infrastructure, and custom AI solutions were usually only practical with bespoke development. With WBLingua, there is now a much more direct way. The Joomla extension integrates OpenAI, DeepL, and compatible models directly into Joomla and automatically translates content into the respective language directories - without an intermediate proxy, without a mandatory subscription, and without a prebuilt translation platform.
The key is to have the right expectations: WBLingua does not replace a human's linguistic fine-tuning. Instead, automatic translation provides a very good initial version in terms of content and structure, which makes it much faster to edit and stylistically refine texts afterward. Especially for websites with many articles, modules, or recurring text blocks, this saves a lot of time without losing editorial control.

Many Joomla site owners do not even realize that the Tassos Framework or the earlier Novarain Framework is installed on their website at all. That is exactly what makes this vulnerability so troublesome: it affects the plg_system_nrframework plugin, which often runs quietly in the background as a technical dependency.

Sometimes a WordPress site looks completely normal from the outside - and yet it contains a backdoor. One especially nasty pattern is when names like one_images_user, admlnlx, or adminbackup appear as new, unknown admin users. These are not "odd coincidences," but often clear signs of an infection that is trying to secure permanent admin access.

Recently, WordPress Site Health (in the dashboard under Tools) has been warning about too many autoloaded options. WordPress stores most settings in the wp_options table. These are sometimes automatically loaded into memory via the autoload property. Over time, some of these autoloaded options can accumulate - sometimes with considerable size. For better WordPress website performance, it therefore makes sense to optimize the wp_options table from time to time and clear out old clutter.
We explain how you can fix the performance problem.

If you advertise with Google, the message "Rejected: Unwanted or harmful software" is often an initial indication that your website has been hacked. Google Ads (AdWords) reacts very sensitively to unwanted software and harmful links. Individual ads or entire campaigns are quickly rejected and suspended until further notice because of injected malware.

A popular target of current spam campaigns is a supposed Google giveaway. Accompanied by a shower of confetti, the message "You have made the billionth Google search" appears. Of course, there is nothing to win here and it is a fake. The site serves solely to collect personal data, which is then sold.
The cause of the giveaway redirect is often a hacked (WordPress) website. Triggered by script viruses, after a just under 5-second redirect loop you end up on the data collectors' pages.

In many current WordPress hacks, the symptom occurs that visits to the website are redirected to a foreign domain. This is referred to as "malware redirects" or "spam redirects".
This article explains how this redirect happens and which variations are possible. The redirects do not always occur regularly, which means this type of hack can remain undetected for a long time.
One thing is clear: urgent action is needed so that no valuable traffic is lost.

Instead of a white, blank page, WordPress has shown the message "The website is experiencing technical difficulties" since version 5.2. This means there is a serious error in the PHP execution, so the page cannot be displayed. In most cases, the error is caused by an incompatible WordPress plugin or the theme. In many cases, the admin login is no longer possible either.
Here you can find out how to resolve the technical difficulties.

Strato ranks third among Germany’s largest web hosts, directly behind 1&1 Ionos and Hetzner. Through aggressive €1 marketing and large-scale "Service Champion" advertising campaigns, the provider has gained a market share of almost 14% over the years.
Accordingly, the share of our customers who host their website at Strato is also high. In principle, Strato is well equipped in terms of security features. However, if a hack occurs, the malware handling is poorly implemented.
If the server-side malware scanner finds malicious files as a result of a hacker attack, the hosting package is promptly suspended and you receive an email with the subject line "Sperrung Ihres Paketes ...".
