Have you ever viewed the page source of your Joomla based website?

If you have you would have noticed that there is the following line of code

.

Personally I always like to remove this partcular line of code so that it is a little bit more difficult for people to distinguish what content management system you are using for your website.

In order to remove this line of code you would need to do the following:

1. Open your FTP client (eg: Filezilla) and log into your website.
2. Navigate to libraries/joomla/document/html/renderer
3. Open up the file head.php with your html editor (eg: Notepad)
4. Search (Ctrl F) for the following text meta name="generator" that will be found around line 83 of the code.
5. Now replace the entire line of code with the following /*$strHtml .= $tab.''.$lnEnd;*/ to comment out the line of code.

Before:

After:

1. Finally save the file and re-upload it to your website.
