Mobile 3.1 Released: Improvements and Updates

Monday, 27 February 2023 09:47

We have recently released the new version of our popular Mobile Joomla! extension. This update brings several improvements and updates to the underlying framework, making it more user-friendly, faster, and more powerful than ever before.

Improved Optimization Framework

One of the most significant improvements in Mobile 3.1 is the improved optimization framework. The extension now uses more advanced optimization techniques to deliver faster page load times and better performance. This means that your website will load faster, leading to a better user experience.

Improved Processing of Async, Defer, and Module JavaScripts

The new release also includes improvements to the way asynchronous, deferred, and module JavaScripts are processed. This ensures that these scripts are loaded and executed in the correct order, resulting in faster and more reliable page loading.

Support for Low-Quality Image Placeholders

Mobile 3.1 also includes support for low-quality image placeholders for lazy-loading images. This means that when an image is loading, a low-quality version of the image is displayed first, giving the user a preview of what the final image will look like. This helps to improve the user experience and reduce bounce rates.

Support for Merge and Minify Exclusion Rules

The new version of the extension also includes support for exclusion rules. This allows users to fine-tune the behavior of the extension by specifying rules for excluding certain CSS, JavaScripts, and images from being merged or optimized. This gives users more control over how the extension works and helps to ensure that it is optimized for their specific needs.

Fixed Backend Performance Issues

We have also fixed several backend performance issues that were causing problems for some users. This ensures that the extension is stable and reliable, and that users can continue to use it without experiencing any problems.

Updated Mobile Devices Database AMDD

Finally, the Mobile 3.1 release includes an updated mobile devices database AMDD. This database includes information on the latest mobile devices, helping to ensure that the extension is optimized for the latest devices on the market.

As always, we recommend that users make a backup before updating to the latest version of the extension. This ensures that users can revert to a previous version in case of any issues.

We welcome any feedback from users on the new release. If you have any questions or comments about the new version of the extension, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our support team.

Guide to Upgrade the Mobile extension from 2.x to 3.x

Tuesday, 15 November 2022 15:27

1. Check that your server matches the minimal requirements: Joomla! 2.5 and PHP 5.6.

2. Don't forget to make a backup and, if possible, test on a copy of your website.

3. Note that the Mobile extension has been split into Mobile and Adaptive packages (the former is used for page speed optimization, caching and PWA support, and the latter is used for device detection and template switching). That's why three packages should be installed:

3.1. Install Mobile 3.x or Mobile Pro 3.x package (depending on your subscription). If you have active Mobile 2.x Pro/Club subscription, you can upgrade to Mobile 3.x for free.

3.2. Install Mobile Adaptive 3.x package.

3.3. Install mobile template adopted for Mobile 3.x:

• Mobile Basic 3.x (free)
• Mobile Elegance 3.x
• Mobile Flat 3.x
• Mobile Square 3.x
• Mobile Cupertino 3.x (formerly named Mobile iOS9, so don't forget to set this template in the Adaptive settings instead of Mobile_iOS9)

Note that if you are also upgrading Joomla (e.g. 3.x to 4.x), it's recommended to uninstall the old mobile template and then install the new version after Joomla has been upgraded.

4. To activate Mobile Pro, open Settings page, enter your API key from Account page, and save changes.

Mobile 3.0.1 Release

Tuesday, 15 November 2022 15:27

Mobile 3.0.1 has been released. This is a regular update with following changes:

1. Fixed processing of optimized images during update from Mobile 2.x
2. Fixed combining of javascripts in the XML-based optimizer
3. Fixed detection of mobile template updates
4. Added "Set" button to the "missing API key" warning [Mobile Pro]

As always, you can update Mobile 3.0 to the new version via the Auto Update feature, or by downloading the Mobile package and installing it from the backend. Do not forget to backup your website before the update!
