License: AGPL v3 (open source)
Requirements: PHP 8.1 or higher, MySQL / MariaDB
What is Éclair CMS?
Éclair CMS is a fast and lightweight CMS, focused on security, SEO and simple use. It needs fewer server resources than WordPress, so it is a good choice for shared hosting.
Security:
A full security audit of the code was completed in November 2026. The full report is attached to this post (PDF).
Updates:
We publish regular versioned releases with a changelog, and we keep a stable branch for production sites.
To make your work easier, I can build and send a ready Softaculous package (install.xml, install.php, upgrade support), tested on WHM.
Thank you for your time. I am happy to answer any question.
