Created in 2005 with robust and advanced features, Joomla’s functional operation is based on the multiple quantity of extensions that provides the website owners with the reliable protection system, site optimization, and other up to date options. In this article, we look at why you need to upgrade from Joomla 1.5 to 2.5 in order to gain those additional functionalities that 2.5 has to offer you.

With Joomla 1.5 reaching its end of life cycle, you will not get any more security updates. It also means that the relative odds of your site being hacked, causing irreparable damage to your reputation, loss of data and many other problems, is relatively high.
2. Extensions Support
Now that Joomla 1.5 has reached its end of life, third-party developers are mainly concentrating their programming efforts on the latest version, Joomla 2.5. Additionally, almost all of Joomla extensions have been converted to be compatible with Joomla 2.5.

Some of the better improvements in Joomla 2.5: One-click extensions package installer, limitless levels of hierarchy in the category tree (which is used to classify content), improved reliability and minimum unexpected errors during editing.
4. Always Be Up-To-Date With the New Features
Joomla 2.5 brings you some extraordinary features which improve Joomla performance such as CAPTCHA Plugin, Smart search, Multilanguage support or User Notes.
5. Enhanced Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
A faster, natural language search engine has been added to Joomla 2.5 core with improved features. This provides a more ‘Google’ experience when searching a large Joomla website.
6. Get a Long Term Support
Since Joomla 2.5 is a long-term support release, it will be officially supported until 2014.
7. Avoid Technology Obsolescence
