PHP 7 IS BETTER IN EVERY WAY

On average, upgrading to PHP 7 hosting helps your site load twice as fast. A faster loading website results in lower bounce rates, higher conversion rates, and better SEO (especially on mobile).

WHY DOES PHP 7 MATTER?

WordPress uses the programming language PHP to do things like build pages, make plugins work, and pretty much everything else you love about WordPress. As the PHP language evolves, newer versions run faster on web servers. PHP7 is the latest and fastest version of PHP.

Moving from a budget host using older versions of PHP to PHP7 hosting can result in a website that’s faster at loading web pages and generating revenue.
