A healthier website
A current PHP version improves the experience for your visitors and closes security gaps before they become a problem.
Recent PHP releases deliver major performance improvements. Many websites feel faster as soon as they move from an older version.
Modern PHP handles demanding themes, plugins and server-side tasks more efficiently, helping pages reach visitors sooner.
Page speed contributes to the experience signals used by Google and other search engines. A faster server gives your content a stronger foundation.
PHP 8.1, 8.0, 7.4, 7.3, 7.2 and older releases no longer receive security patches. Newly discovered vulnerabilities can remain open.
A website does not need millions of visitors to be targeted. Automated tools continually search the web for outdated software.
Keeping PHP current helps protect your website, its data and your visitors' privacy. Our free checker and guides show you where to begin.
