Joomla stores the site details in the configuration.php file in the root of your Joomla installation, and it stores most page content in the database. The site’s images are usually kept in the images folder rather than the database.

Where the main details live

The configuration.php file holds important settings such as the site name, database login details, paths, and other core configuration values. It sits in the top-level Joomla folder, often in public_html, htdocs, or www depending on your hosting setup.

Where content is stored

Most pages, articles, menus, modules, categories, and user-related data are stored in the Joomla database, not as separate page files. Joomla builds the page dynamically by pulling records from the database when someone visits the site.

Files and folders

A Joomla site also has folders for things like:

  • administrator for backend admin files.
  • media or images for uploaded assets.
  • cache for temporary performance files.
  • logs for error and activity logs.

Quick answer

If you mean the website settings , look in configuration.php. If you mean the actual content of the site, look in the database.
