MonoCMS is a website content management system, just like wordpress, blogger, joomla, etc. The difference between Monocms and the above is that it belongs to the category of non database systems without a database. THE processing data is done with PHP and stored in XML.
So uses the server's file system for data storage, which makes it extremely simple, small in size, and very fast.
Its capabilities may look less, but its speed and ease of use will soon make you feel that this is a very powerful tool that users can use to create and maintain a website or blog their.
MonoCMS and in Greek…
MonoCMS is made by a Greek web developer who lives in Athens (Pano z), so at the same time with English he acquired his Greek version.
The first syllable of the system name itself derives from the Greek word "only".
Minimum requirements
PHP >= 5.5 on server Apache.
We tried Panou's MonoCMS and found it pretty fast. The platform still needs work, and seems to be able to promise better performance and more security.
Promising
Positive we can mention the speed of the page, the minimal and responsive design, the temporary storage in the session memory during the duration registration of a new publication, but also the security measures taken by the Greek programmer to date. Let's mention its characteristic user blocking.
Of course a positive in itself is the involvement and creation of a fully functional CMS by a Greek coder… Hopefully others will follow, and why not get involved in the development and evolution of MonoCMS that we particularly liked.
In the negative, Panos you need to add the salted passwords support, and maybe later automatic page formatting functions for those who do not know HTML and PHP, and also support for add-ons for those who want more functionality.
But let's look at a test we ran on GTMetrix. As you will see below, the page loads in 0.1 seconds, has a "weight" of 14 KB and currently only 2 requests. To mention that PageSpeedScore is very easy to make by adding 2-3 lines code in .htaccess.
Update: After communicating with Panayiotis, he clarified that
"The command I use for encryption is password_hash (), which ALWAYS extracts salt, whether we give it as a parameter or not. I do not have my own function to extract salt, because the command can write salt on its own. So the codes are always salted. ”
