A healthier website

Why update PHP?

A current PHP version improves the experience for your visitors and closes security gaps before they become a problem.

SpeedSpeed & SEO
01

Noticeably faster

Recent PHP releases deliver major performance improvements. Many websites feel faster as soon as they move from an older version.

02

Less work for every page

Modern PHP handles demanding themes, plugins and server-side tasks more efficiently, helping pages reach visitors sooner.

03

Better search visibility

Page speed contributes to the experience signals used by Google and other search engines. A faster server gives your content a stronger foundation.

SecuritySecurity
01

Security fixes stop

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.

02

Automated attacks do not discriminate

A website does not need millions of visitors to be targeted. Automated tools continually search the web for outdated software.

03

Protect every visitor

Keeping PHP current helps protect your website, its data and your visitors' privacy. Our free checker and guides show you where to begin.
