TYPO3 is one of the best known and most widely used content management systems (CMS) on the market. Despite its popularity, however, there are many preconceptions about TYPO3, mostly due to a lack of information or outdated information. In this article, I will dispel some of the most common preconceptions about TYPO3.

TYPO3 is difficult to use

This is one of the most common prejudices against TYPO3. However, it is wrong, because TYPO3 has an intuitive user interface that is easy to use once you get to grips with it. TYPO3 also offers a comprehensive documentation and an active community that is always available to help with questions and problems.

TYPO3 is slow

This is another common prejudice against TYPO3. In reality, the speed of a TYPO3 website depends on many factors, such as the configuration of the server, the size of the website or the extensions used. When TYPO3 is correctly configured and optimized, it delivers a fast and responsive website.

TYPO3 is expensive

TYPO3 is often seen as an expensive CMS, but this is not necessarily true. In fact, TYPO3 is an open source system that can be downloaded and used free of charge. However, TYPO3 can incur costs if you need professional support or special extensions. However, compared to other commercial CMSs such as Adobe Experience Manager or Sitecore, TYPO3 is still a low-cost option.

TYPO3 is not scalable

This is another common prejudice against TYPO3, but it's wrong. TYPO3 is a very scalable CMS that is suitable for both small and large websites. It offers a variety of features and extensions that allow websites to adapt to the growing needs of businesses.

TYPO3 is not secure

This is a widespread prejudice against TYPO3, but it is unfounded. TYPO3 is a secure CMS that is regularly reviewed and updated by the community and developers to ensure it meets the latest security standards. There is also an active community to help fix security issues. However, it is important that TYPO3 websites are regularly updated and maintained to ensure that they remain secure.

Conclusion

In summary, TYPO3 is a powerful, scalable and secure CMS that is a great option for many organizations. It is important to inform yourself well before using TYPO3 or any other CMS and to dispel any prejudices in order to make the best decision for your own project or company.

Hi, I am Wolfgang.

Since 2006, I've been diving deep into the fascinating world of TYPO3 - it's not only my profession, but also my passion. My path has taken me through countless projects, and I have created hundreds of professional video tutorials focusing on TYPO3 and its extensions. I love unraveling complex topics and turning them into easy-to-understand concepts, which is also reflected in my trainings and seminars.

As an active member of the TYPO3 Education Committee, I am committed to keeping the TYPO3 CMS Certified Integrator exam questions current and challenging. Since January 2024, I am proud to be an official TYPO3 Consultant Partner!

But my passion doesn't end at the screen. When I'm not diving into the depths of TYPO3, you'll often find me on my bike, exploring the picturesque trails around Lake Constance. These outdoor excursions are my perfect balance - they keep my mind fresh and always provide me with new ideas.
