PHP is the most widely used scripting language in the world. It is an indispensable language in the code world, which is why globally known systems like WordPress and Magento run on it. In 2004, the last major version was released; PHP 5. PHP 5 was well embroidered on in the following years, but last year it made a big leap to PHP 7.

PHP7 + benefits

If you savour specs and code you can check out the improvements at the PHP website, but I am addressing what is possibly most important to you as a webshop owner.

Faster!

That the speed of your webshop is related to your conversion rate is nothing new, of course, but should definitely not be underestimated. A research from Akamai and Gomez.com for example, is an eye-opener for many who may not have this high on their priority list. Here, for example, it shows that 1 second delay in load time can lead to 7% less conversion. Do the math on what that will cost you, or what it can save you if you go faster than you are going now!
