Website PHP Update Check

Check whether a WordPress, Laravel, or other PHP website may need the latest critical security update.

Website PHP Update Check helps website owners, agencies, and maintainers find out whether a WordPress, Laravel, or other PHP-powered website may need the critical October 2026 PHP security update. The check runs privately in Chrome. You do not need to submit the website address to an online scanning service. Open a website, click the extension, and receive: • A private check for visible WordPress and PHP clues • A short questionnaire about the PHP version shown by your host • A comparison with the official fixed PHP versions • Clear instructions written for website owners—not security specialists • Specific questions to send to your hosting provider • An honest explanation of what Chrome cannot verify The extension recognizes the official fixed releases PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36, and 8.2.35. Some hosting companies and Linux providers apply the security fix without changing the main PHP version number, so the extension also explains when you must ask your provider for confirmation. Important: a positive-looking result does not guarantee that the server is protected. Chrome cannot inspect the software installed by your host, every server behind a website, or whether the website was attacked before it was updated. This extension is a website-owner guidance tool, not a penetration test or replacement for a server-side security review. Updating WordPress, Laravel, a theme, a plugin, or application code does not install the PHP server update. The update must be confirmed through the hosting dashboard, server administrator, or hosting provider.
