Quick Generator Removal
Remove or customize the Joomla generator meta tag
Automatically remove the Joomla generator meta tag from the source code or replace it with your own text – without modifying the Joomla core or your template.
Free Joomla extension
Automatically remove the Joomla generator tag
Joomla adds a generator meta tag to the head area of a website by default. Quick Generator Removal automatically removes this entry or replaces it with your own text.
You do not need to edit your Joomla template or add custom PHP code. The plugin works automatically in the background and does not modify Joomla core files.
After installation, enable the system plugin and decide whether the generator tag should be removed completely or displayed with your own custom content.
The setting remains active after Joomla and template updates.
