I had several outstanding problems anyway, so I decided to try and fix them all at once: I had a jQuery conflict with cloudflare cdn, an indexing mod to index the notes didn&#8217;t work and the website was just too heavy and slow.<br \/>\nI ripped out all the content from the website database and reinstalled joomla 2.5.18 then related the content tables into the database.<br \/>\nThen I installed all the extensions I wanted, dropped the mobile theme which will be defunct soon anyway with joomla 3.3.2. To make the site superfast I used jch with all the switches turned on, smushed all the images and dropped the admin tools extension as soon I was satisfied I had secured the site.<br \/>\nNow I have a page speed score of 93%! Better than I ever achieved when I was using a cdn and there are a couple more things I can do to speed it up further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I tried to update my website from joomla 2.5.17 to 3.2.2 through the admin panel THE SCREEN WENT BLANK!
