Website Checker / Platform
Website platform check: is your CMS version still supported?
Which system the site is built on (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Shopify, a site builder…), which version, and whether that version still receives security fixes.
What the colours mean
- OK. The platform is current, or it is a hosted service that the provider updates for you.
- Needs attention. The platform is outdated or its version is hidden — updates are probably overdue.
- Problem. The platform version no longer receives security fixes, or is officially marked insecure. Holes found in it will never be patched.
Why it matters for your business
- Old platforms are the most common way websites get hacked: attackers scan the internet for known old versions automatically.
- A hacked site can be blacklisted by Google and lose its search traffic.
- Moving off an unsupported major version is often as much work as building a new site.
What you can do yourself
- Make a full backup before any update.
- Check the admin panel for available updates and install them.
- If the major version is no longer supported (for example, Drupal 7 or 8, Joomla 3), plan a move to a current platform rather than patching.
What OLBO can do
Technical website audit — from €490, 2 working days: a report with exact instructions for your developer.
When the platform itself is old, patching costs more every year. A new site on a current platform fixes this indicator together with speed, security and accessibility.
Common doubts
The site works — why change anything?
It works until someone uses a known hole. Versions without support never get the fix, so the risk only grows.
Won't a new website cost a fortune?
Not necessarily: compare the prices below. Patching an unsupported platform year after year often ends up costing more.
