About the WordPress version checker
Why should I keep WordPress up to date?
Running an outdated version of WordPress can expose your site to security risks, bugs and compatibility issues. Updates often include important security fixes, so keeping WordPress current is one of the simplest ways to protect your website.
How does the checker find my version?
The tool reads the public pages of your website, looking for the version WordPress publishes about itself. It then compares that with the current official release. It does not log in to your website or change anything.
Why can’t the tool find my version?
Some websites hide their WordPress version for security, and some aren’t built on WordPress at all. If your version is hidden, you can check it in your WordPress dashboard under Dashboard, then Updates, or ask us to take a look.
What should I do if my WordPress is outdated?
Take a full backup first, then update WordPress, your theme and your plugins. If you’d rather not risk it, our website support service takes care of updates, security and backups for you.
Let us keep your website secure, updated and performing at its best
