PHP is the programming language WordPress runs on. Newer PHP versions (8.0+) are significantly faster and more secure than older versions. Agent Wise X ensures all client sites run on the latest stable PHP version compatible with their plugins and themes. Upgrading from PHP 7.4 to 8.0+ can improve page load times by 20-30%. We test compatibility before upgrading to prevent any functionality issues.
