PHP migration to a modern, supported stack
We move your site to newer PHP, better hosting and compatible plugins, with the old setup kept as a fallback until you are happy.
Which PHP version does your site report?
We read only what your site already sends in public: the headers and the top of the homepage. No scan, no login.
