Welcome to the 2012 edition for the Top 100 Joomla Extensions: the number one resource to find the best Joomla extensions for your Joomla website. Our Joomla experts have taken the time to evaluate thousands of Joomla extensions and compile the best to help save time, money, and energy when selecting extensions for your Joomla Project.

The extensions were ranked based on overall usefulness, front and back end functionality, J!2.5 compatibility, ability to customize, support provided, and other key factors. All of these extensions have been used by the Savvy Panda team and this list will be updated twice per year. We also value your opinion so we have added public rating so you can rate your favorite extensions. Enjoy!
