Our personal findings and advice

There are loads more aspects to this update that we’ve not mentioned, but our team of brilliant developers have said the following:

“This was a pretty hefty update with over 300 changes. With the most notable change being that Magento now supports PHP 8, which brings with it all sorts of performance improvements.
