Regularly checking for PHP version updates is essential for maintaining your website’s security, performance, and compatibility. It's recommended to:
-
Review your PHP version at least once a month, especially if your site uses dynamic content or third-party applications like WordPress or Laravel.
-
Stay informed about new PHP releases and security patches from official sources.
-
Ensure you're always using a supported and stable version.
Your hosting provider may notify you of available updates, but it’s still a good habit to check manually to make sure your site runs on a secure and up-to-date PHP version.
