Update your online shop to PrestaShop 8 with certified experts

UPDATE YOUR ONLINE SHOP

Why migrate to PrestaShop 8 now?

Security risks

Older versions of PrestaShop do not have critical security updates and, in some cases, using PHP 7.4 is vulnerable. This puts both your data and your customers' data at risk.

Impact on SEO and sales

Being on older versions affects your SEO, and crashes or speed issues directly impact user experience and conversions, hurting your sales.

Increase in costs

When using older versions of PrestaShop, hosting support is reduced, forcing you to seek more expensive solutions or suffer compatibility issues. Stores tend to consume more resources due to their lack of optimisation, which can result in higher maintenance costs.

Loss of performance

Many users with older versions experience constant speed and stability issues. If your online shop has long loading times and crashes during periods of high traffic, it is time for a WPO (Web Performance Optimisation) audit and to consider migrating to PrestaShop 8.

SEO losses

Slow performance and lack of adaptability in older versions prevent your shop from reaching its true potential in search results. The most common issues include poorly structured URLs, indexing problems, and duplicate content.

Support from Prestashop

PrestaShop support for 1.6 updates has ended, and support for PrestaShop 1.7 is scheduled to end in late 2024. Do you still have an online shop running PrestaShop 1.4? Check out our guide on migrating from PrestaShop 1.4 to 1.7.
